Positive Psychology

A field of psychology focused on human strengths, happiness, and potential.

Details

Positive Psychology is a field of psychology founded by Martin Seligman that focuses on strengths and virtues rather than illness and weakness. It studies happiness, well-being, flow, gratitude, strengths, and positive relationships.

Its goal goes beyond fixing problems — it aims to make life richer and more fulfilling. A key feature is that it offers scientifically grounded strategies for increasing happiness.

It's not about ignoring the dark side of life, but a balanced approach that says: let's also look at the bright side. Mindy is here to help you explore your own strengths and build a more flourishing life.
