Positive Psychology Center

The Positive Psychology Center, based at the University of Pennsylvania, focuses on the study and promotion of positive human experiences, such as happiness, well-being, and personal strengths. Founded by psychologist Martin Seligman, this center aims to research what makes life fulfilling and how individuals and communities can thrive. It develops evidence-based practices to enhance mental health, foster resilience, and improve quality of life. By emphasizing the positive aspects of human experiences rather than just addressing mental illness, the center contributes to a more holistic understanding of psychology and encourages individuals to lead more meaningful lives.
