In this lesson, you will be introduced to the science of positive psychology. We will emphasize the fact that positive psychology is a science, and those wanting to engage with it require basic scientific literacy. We will discuss this field’s history, research, and current directions. Notably, we will expand beyond the most popular coverage of positive psychology and attend to often overlooked topics. We will also focus on how positive psychology does (and does not) inform coaching.
This lesson will take approximately 2.5 hours.
