Positive Psychology Interventions (Part Three)
Positive Psychological Interventions (PPIs) are science-backed techniques that help us improve our health and happiness. Each PPI focuses on at least one idea or theory from positive psychology, and research has shown they are effective.
PPIs aim to bring more positivity into people’s lives and help them handle difficult events, emotions, and moods. Research shows they work best in therapy or coaching, but using them on your own can also improve well-being.
Character Strengths & Virtues
Positive psychology is the empirical exploration of how people, institutions and communities flourish. It is based on the premise that the mere absence of illness is not conducive to well-being and a fulfilling life (Martin Seligman, 1998). Positive psychology is known as the science of happiness, but more profoundly, it is the scientific study of what makes life worth living.
