#Positive #Psychology
Thank you for such a potentially transformational concept that I will immediately be applying as an educator! I have been engaged in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for almost 20 years; I am a study and practitioner of Zen principles; I am my middle school's PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention System) coordinator. Positive psychology contains the best elements of therapy, Zen, and PBIS! I am so excited to apply these principles toward my students' life-long success!!! Thank you again.
I believe that under Csikszentmihalyi´s flow model the relaxation and boredom bits are in switched places. Anyways; thank for this nice vid!
Thank you!
good shit, differentiating this from new age self help shit.
Great video – much needed. I would really like to make a version available in Danish. Would this be ok with you – of course with due credit.
Sounds like a great idea! Please email me at Info @ PrepGurus (dot) com
Thanks.
Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School, saving people, that is based on the principles of the Universe:
真 Truthfulness
善 Compassion
忍 Forbearance
It teaches elevation of one's moral character. Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. Good people are being tortured, raped, killed, force-fed, deprived of sleep and have organs harvested from simply because their spiritual belief. Millions practitioners were killed by the evil CCP.

Excellent Summary! Well done! It perfectly represents my views and what I am trying to achieve in my new business! Thanks for the video!
It is brilliant to have such a perfect short summary about decades of research. Sorry that the quality of voice makes the whole information somehow questionable. Positive Psychology is about the willingness to discover our strengths, willingness to take our life into our hands and open up our eyes to see the reality. I am working with the elements os PP since 10 years with business clients, and it works.
I love the quote at the end

You may follow every word he says but at the end, happiness is not something we own or something we can create or develope.
Its a gift…
I can give u an example, i was looking at a picture of a some kids in a ware zone with the biggest smile and they seemed so happy while they were hungry, homeless in some camp, probably no lost their families, just tragic, Yet, smiling. A GIFT!
Hi, what can i do for you? Where is this going to take place?
Excelente and the graphics are amazing
The following are outstanding…
"Finding Flow"
"Flourish"
"The Evolving Self"
Wow. Where did that narrator come from? Cheesiest voiceover ever. Hard to stomach.
excellent piece of work which I have shared. Thank you
great intro to +ve psy
positive psychology is all about self delusion. Delude yourself happy. A kind of self programming or self brainwashing.
this is so true, great
A unique treat!
Incredible way of changing the way we see situations and life. Excited about exploring this further as a future educator!
"Anyone who says otherwise is selling something."
Great video. Nice and clear. The more we all do our parts the better future for Humans and the planet 🙂
with what program is this made?
The Positive Psychology is a great improvement in sciences nowadays, it's based on forgiveness, love and gratitude.
Positive Psychology is basically a way of saying you can "wish things into existence" and is also becoming associated w/ suicide prevention training.
Perfect little summary!
For what it's worth, I liked this little video very much. It was very well done, concise and educational. Well done and kudos to him/her/those that put it together.
It is good to know how positive psychology to work with people.
Good old epictetus brought me here!(indirectly)
Great video, thanks for sharing
Mike Csikszentmihalyi? No… Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi. 🙂
Excellent video ! Cela se rapproche beaucoup de l'approche du boudhiste sur la vie. Pourquoi ce qui apparait simple est si difficile pour certain. Est-ce manque de motivation de changer un conditionnement qui n'a plus sa place ?
great vid:)
love it !
Awesome explanation – I hope you guys don't mind me featuring your video on my review of #positivepsychology at http://www.pepperedprawn.com.au/positive-psychology/ – really appreciate how you have put this together! Gratitude!
We want to use this video for a college course in Psychology at Santa Rosa Junior College. Would you please grant us permission to caption the video so it has punctuation and clear sentences? If you turn on Community Contributions in YouTube, we could add the better captions to these videos. Alternatively, we can send you a corrected caption file that you can upload in YouTube. One more option is to use a site such as Amara.org that will embed the video and give us an interface to overlay the video with the better caption file.
All of these options leave the control in your hands. If you take down the video, it will no longer appear in the course, we will just be embedding from YouTube, not downloading the video.
Excellent video. Thanks a lot for creating and sharing
