The School of Positive Psychology
The School of Positive Psychology was established to promote the art, the science and practice of positive psychology in Asia. Apart from providing education and credentialing, we promote research, training, and the dissemination of positive psychology. This field has tremendous potential for cultivating meaningful, fulfilling lives, enhancing experiences of love, work and play.Positive psychology training encourages and teaches the three elements: positive emotions, positive individual traits and positive institutions. Positive psychology instills elements of joy and fulfillment in people by increasing individual awareness of the different aspects of the human condition. It is scientifically proven that happier people with positive emotions and traits are more productive as they think faster, more creative, healthier, more successful, caring and more socially engaged. Positive psychology training increases the abilities of individuals to pursue engagement and involvement in work, leisure and relationships. Positive emotions and memories generate hope, faith, trust, confidence and optimism which are often documented to buffer against depression. It can instill satisfaction, serenity, contentment and fulfillment to gear and develop gratitude and forgiveness. In addition to that, positive psychology heightens individual awareness and appreciation of the pursuit of meaning in life, increasing their capacity for happiness, fulfilment and evolution.

What We Do in Positive Psychology
Happiness leads to long life, health, resilience and good
performance. In general, happy people live longer than depressed
people.
First, family and friends are crucial. The wider and deeper the
relationships with those around you, the better. Just as stress can
trigger ill health, it is thought that friendship and happiness can
have a protective effect.
The second vital ingredient is having meaning in life, a belief in
something bigger than yourself - from religion, spirituality or the
philosophy of life.
The third element is having goals embedded in your long term values
that you are working for and at the same time, find enjoyable.
Psychologists argue that we need to find fulfillment through having
goals that are interesting to work on which uses our strengths and
abilities
