What is Positive Psychology: A Definition

“Positive psychology is the scientific study of what makes life most worth living” (Peterson, 2008).

I adhere to the positive psychology scientific approach because it is studying human thoughts, feelings, and behavior, with a focus on strengths instead of weaknesses, building the good in life instead of repairing the bad, and taking the lives of average people up to “great” instead of focusing solely on moving those who are struggling up to “normal” (Peterson, 2008).
