Enhancing whats good in life is equally important as fixing whats wrong, is the basic focus point of modern Psychology by Martin Seligman.

Martin Seligman is the founder of Positive Psychology who is also respected authority for his knowledge on curing depression, build strength and encourage optimism. We at voiceshares believe in bringing such noble methodologies closer to you, such methodologies which often contradicts the modern medicine bring about a cure for a suffering through natural remedies.

What is Positive Psychology ? Why is it important ?

Positive Psychology is a scientific study of human flourishing and an applied approach for optimal functioning. It is one of most effective transformative field in the modern Psychology. Positive Psychology mainly focus on strength and its application for optimal functioning of humans and organizations.

Positive Psychology mainly aims at improving people's lives by changing negative ways of thinking as way to change how they feel. It focuses on improving the positives within one's surroundings rather than go about fixing the wrong and wasting time with that.

Why was positive Psychology developed ??

Over the first 60 years of mental health science the disease model was followed which means people were more concern about curing the person suffering which left them no time to focus on enhancing the strength of normal people, this lead to disease model branding Psychologists as people who should be involved only when there is something wrong with the mental health.

Nurturing positive feeling is also equally important and this something Positive Psychology focus on. In positive Psychology is something which is

  1. as concerned with strength as with weakness
  2. as interested in building things in life as in repairing the worst
  3. as concerned with making lives of normal people fulfilling as with healing pathology

In the last 10 years a new science called positive psychology has been making tremendous progress by studying how Psychology can make life worth a happiness.

Now that you all know the introduction to Positive Psychology, listen to the man himself talking about it.

Hopefully positive Psychology is something that can bring about a positive change in the mental health of all those suffering from it. In this talk you get to see how family friends, college school can bring a positive drive with positive psychology.
