Seligman's Wellbeing Theory

Seligman’s Wellbeing Theory, often called PERMA, suggests that true happiness and life satisfaction come from five key areas: Positive emotions (experiencing joy and gratitude), Engagement (being absorbed in activities), Relationships (having meaningful social connections), Meaning (finding purpose in life), and Accomplishment (achieving goals). By nurturing these elements, individuals can cultivate a fulfilled and balanced life. The theory emphasizes that well-being isn’t just about fleeting happiness but involves a combination of these factors contributing to overall flourishing.
