The Science of Happiness @ Work

The positive psychology movement catalyses a change in psychology from a preoccupation with only repairing the worst things in life to also building the best qualities in life.

Hundreds of interventions have been developed to help people identify and develop 24 character strengths that contribute to the good life. Researchers have found that by exercising those top “signature strengths” as much as possible leads to a sense of fulfilment.

This course shows you how to identify and use your strengths to harness potential for enduring fulfilment.
