"What is right about people?" This question is at the heart of positive psychology, which is the scientific and applied approach to uncovering people's strengths and promoting their positive functioning. Positive psychology is about valued subjective experiences: well-being, contentment, and satisfaction (in the past); mindfulness, flow and happiness (in the present); and hope and optimism (for the future).
Positive psychology is an applied science: many of the available theories and methods can be directly applied in coaching or clinical settings. Therefore, both the theoretical as well as practical side of positive psychology will be part of this course.
