For decades, psychology has focused on helping people get from a negative state (like depression or anxiety) back up to zero or neutral (not having a problem).

Positive Psychology shifts the focus to what happens above zero.

Building strengths, not just addressing weaknesses

Traditional Psychology asks: "What is wrong with you, and how can we fix it?"

Positive Psychology asks: "What is right with you, and how can we build on it to help you thrive?"

It’s about using science (research, data, and evidence) to understand and cultivate the positive qualities that help people, families, schools, and workplaces flourish.

The Science of the Good Life. Positive Psychology scientifically studies concepts like:

Strengths and Virtues: Identifying and using your core character strengths (like kindness, curiosity, and leadership).

Happiness and Wellbeing: Understanding how to create a life of deep satisfaction and fulfillment, not just fleeting pleasure.

Resilience: The ability to handle and bounce back from failure, adversity, and challenge.

Meaning and Purpose: Discovering and engaging with goals that are bigger than yourself and life life meaning.

It is not just "positive thinking" or pretending to be happy all the time.

It is not ignoring negative emotions or challenges.

It is a science-backed approach that gives you practical tools and strategies to live your best life, regardless of circumstances, emotions or challenges.
