Positive Psychology

What is positive psychology?

Positive psychology is the new science of human flourishing.

FACT:optimistic people make   more productive, more creative! employees. Positive psychologists have proved this.
Traditional psychology has focussed mainly on the negative: on distress and disorders. And It has had some success helping people who are stuck in some way: who are traumatised, depressed, dependent on drugs or alcohol, for example.
The new positive psychology has a different focus.  It uses the tools of science to explore what makes life worth living:

• what are the conditions that lead to well-being and success ?
• how can optimum flourishing be achieved?
• for individuals
• for couples, for families,
• for work teams,
• for organisations
• even for nations.

Positive psychologists develop techniques to help people and organisations achieve more flourishing and greater success.

Our positive psychology training courses include:

• positive team-building
