What is Positive Psychology?
Positive psychology studies what makes life satisfactory and how people achieve a good life. It explores human strengths to determine what makes people happy, both as an individual and as a group.
How is Positive Psychology different from other fields of psychology?
Positive Psychology focuses on what is going right in human psyche rather than just what is going wrong. Most fields focus on healing mental illness. In this field, human strengths are emphasized to study how people "flourish" or go beyond basic functioning to a feeling of wellbeing.
