Positive Psychology via distance learning
This program studies strengths, assets, and positive attributes from a psychological perspective. It aims to encourage people to discover and nurture their character strengths in order to improve quality of life, rather than channeling their efforts into correcting shortcomings. Positive Psychology highlights the need for one to shift their negative outlook to a more optimistic view to achieve positive emotions, life meaning, engaging work, and close relationships.
