Improve Wellbeing Through Positive Psychology
Dr. Dianne Mancus and participants discuss origins, purpose, and scientifically backed strategies of Positive Psychology in support of improving wellbeing, including the work of Tim Beck, Mihaly Csikszentimihalyi, Martin Seligman, and Barbara Fredrickson. She addresses learned optimism, the PERMA model for flourishing, flow, strengths and virtues, goal setting, and resilience, and uncovers the criticism that positive psychology benefits only western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic societies.
