What is positive psychology?
Fifteen years after emerging as a significant scientific movement, it is clear that positive psychology, hich is the study of what brings happiness and meaning in life—is not just a fad. The field is reaching new levels of breadth and depth: Having established its core themes and principles during its first decade, it is now getting deeper and more precise in its exploration of what it takes to truly flourish and
be happy in life. The growth of positive psychology was evident last month at the International Positive Psychology Association’s third biannual World Congress on Positive Psychology in the downtown area of Los Angeles.
A global crowd gathered for four days of workshops and symposia on everything from neuroplasticity and mindfulness to organizations and positive psychology in fi lm.
almost 40% of people who report having a happy life also report having a meaningful life.
Detaching from work allows individuals to feel recovered and refreshed, which then allows them to have more energy and be more efficient in their work lives.
The science of positive psychology has achieved a point where it is comparable to the other sub-disciplines and branches of psychology,” wrote the president Robert Vallerand in the Congress’ welcome message.
“And the scientifically informed applications of positive psychology are more popular and diversified than ever.” As Vallerand suggests the leaders of positive psychology
have always prided themselves on delivering scientific fi ndings with clear practical applications. Here are three of the most striking and practical insights I took away from the Congress. Now-familiar research shows that we are happiest when we live in the present moment and that practicing mindfulness— which involves tuning in to our thoughts, emotions, and sensations in the present moment—is good for our bodies, brains, and relationships.

Most people I know are carrying extra weight—and I’m not talking about gaining a few pounds.
by Dr. Amy Johnson
I’m talking about the mental and emotional weight we lug around with us. We carry it everywhere— like a backpack full of bricks—and it weighs us down.
Personally, much of my extra weight comes from the expectations I have for myself to be more— more present, more productive, more enlightened. Although these might be wonderful things to work toward, wanting to be more
can easily translate to not being enough now.
In that way, each desire to be more than what I currently am equates to a few more bricks in my backpack. An extra load to haul around on my back, making life a little harder to navigate.
For me it happens to be expectations, but our habits can weigh us down too. Watching television that doesn’t
