Positive psychology

Positive psychology is a branch of psychology focused on the character strengths and behaviors that allow individuals to build a life of meaning and purpose—to move beyond surviving to flourishing. Positive psychology teaches how to harness the power of shifting one’s perspective to maximize the potential for happiness in many of our everyday behaviors. Positive psychology also lends itself to improvements in the workplace; studies from the field have found that:
Positive emotions boost our job performance;
Positive emotions in the workplace are contagious, which means one positive person or team can have a ripple effect that extends through the entire organization;
Small, simple actions can have a big impact on our happiness, meaning that it doesn’t take much to encourage your workplace to become a happier and more positive place (Kjerulf, 2016).
