The two TED talks below introduced me to positive psychology and started me thinking about the application of positive psychology in schools. For anyone wanting to find out more about positive psychology and the potential it offers, this is a great place to start.
Martin Seligman is recognised as a founding father of positive psychology and is an inspiring speaker and author. I wholeheartedly recommend his books, especially flourish and learned optimism.
Shaun Achor’s talk is awesome, funny and gets to the heart of why positive psychology is far more important than just a warm fuzzy feelgood time out. As he points out, happiness gives us an advantage.
