Spotlights of Significance
The Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania
“Reaching beyond where you are is really important.” - Martin Seligman
Welcome to our new blog series, "Spotlight's of Significance," where we shine a light on organizations that are making a difference in people's lives and spreading positivity. Each week, we'll highlight an organization that is dedicated to helping individuals live better, happier, and more fulfilling lives. Our goal is to increase awareness of these incredible resources and applaud the great work they're doing.
In this first post, we're thrilled to put the spotlight on the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. This remarkable institution is at the forefront of the positive psychology movement, exploring what makes us happy, resilient, and flourishing. By sharing their research and offering a range of services, they empower individuals to lead more fulfilling lives.
Who They Are
Through their rigorous scientific approach, the Positive Psychology Center provides evidence-based insights and practical tools to help people navigate the ups and downs of life. From online courses and certification programs to a wealth of valuable resources, they offer a wealth of knowledge that can be applied to everyday life.
“Psychology is much bigger than just medicine, or fixing unhealthy things. It's about education, work, marriage - it's even about sports. What I want to do is see psychologists working to help people build strengths in all these domains.” - Martin Seligman, PPC Director
On their website, you'll find an abundance of accessible books, videos, and articles that cover a wide range of topics related to positive psychology - the science of human flourishing. Whether you're looking to enhance your well-being, build stronger relationships, or find purpose and meaning, the Positive Psychology Center has something for you.
One of the standout aspects of the center is their commitment to rigorous research. Their research dives deep into understanding what makes us happy, resilient, and fulfilled. Some projects that I think could be especially useful to our Paving the Way community would be their World Well-Being Project, and unique research on Self-Transcendent Experiences and Positive Health!
