Positive Psychology

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of strengths that enable individuals to thrive and what makes life most worth living. It is simply taking the flip side of traditional psychology (figuring out what makes us depressed, anxious etc.) and focusing on positive attributes (what makes us feel pleasure, positive thinking, happiness). The concept is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best and to enhance experiences in work place settings. Positive Psychology is the scientific approach to studying human behavior, thoughts, and feelings with a focus on peoples’ strengths rather than weaknesses, creating a good life instead of repairing the bad.

Positive psychology is one of the most used and popular concepts in todays’ workplaces. It is a discipline that has received recognition in the corporate world since the term was first coined by Maslow in his book from 1954, ‘Motivation and Personality’ and has impacted how businesses around the world perform. Achievement of success is based on whether employees reach their potentials. To do so positive psychology is one of the leading tools companies can use in practice. The organizations that understand and work with positive psychology are gaining competitive advantages and it is the key to success.
