Let’s Stop Trying To be Happy

The Positive Psychology People

Positive psychology emphasises a broad perspective, cautioning against oversimplification. Quick fixes can be counterproductive, as happiness is individual. Personal preferences, strengths, and meaningful activities enhance well-being more effectively than generic advice. For instance, gratitude practices work best when one already feels content. Positive psychology is not just about happiness; it acknowledges stress and hardship as vital for growth. Meaning and purpose often arise from difficult experiences, contributing to emotional and spiritual development, ultimately fostering happiness.
