Positive Psychology is the scientific study of human flourishing and optimal well-being. This interactive presentation by Sierra College, Tahoe-Truckee professor Christopher Old will explore ideas and activities that help people thrive.
"The relatively new field of Positive Psychology continues to grow," explains Old who will examine new findings on topics such as positive emotion, grit, positive relationships, flow, meaning, gratitude and achievement.
