What is Positive Psychology?

  • Resilience

  • Well-being

  • Achievement

  • Hope

  • Optimism

  • Engagement

  • Curiosity

  • Perseverance

  • Strengths

  • Meaning

  • Purpose

  • Passion

  • Habit

  • Mental Toughness

  • Gratitude

  • Connection

  • Community

  • and many more ……

Positive Psychology looks at whats right with people instead what is wrong.
