The new scientific approach of Positive Psychology examines the factors that contribute to a fulfilling and successful life. It explores how individuals can develop their strengths and advance themselves, their environment, and society as a whole. Central questions include: Why is happiness more than just the absence of unhappiness? How can satisfaction be defined, measured, and promoted? How can positive emotions be utilized to cope well with adverse life circumstances? What makes sustained performance possible? The interventions of Positive Psychology aim to enhance positive emotions, life satisfaction, and performance. Daniela Blickhan provides a comprehensive overview of the topics, concepts, and interventions of Positive Psychology and their application in coaching and personal development.
