What is positive psychology?

Positive psychology is a field of study that uses empirical research to explore what makes people happier. The goal of positive psychology is to help people be more resilient, successful and fulfilled.
Positive psychology explores the “science of happiness.” It's a science-based approach to well-being that looks at positive emotions, strengths and character traits as determinants of better health, personal fulfillment and success at work.

Positive psychologists believe that people can be trained to strengthen their positive traits; they also believe that we each have unique strengths—and these strengths allow us to achieve our goals in life by using them more effectively than other people do when they try to achieve similar goals.
