Description:

For years, psychology has been the study of what ails the human mind. For example, why do certain individuals develop depression or abuse substances? Currently, there is a movement within psychology to study not only what ails the human mind; but what makes us happy, healthy, and content in our lives. Positive psychology is the scientific study of what goes right in our life, from birth to death and all the stops in between. In this course you will learn what positive psychology is and what positive psychologists have learned about the good life and how it can be encouraged in your own lives.
