Welcome to Positive Psychology at Work

Positive Psychology at Work was created by a group of coaches, psychologists, teachers, therapists, and writers who ‘met’ virtually in Marty Seligman’s first positive psychology coaching class in May 2003. We have continued dialoging about positive psychology in conference calls, on our own, semi-weekly and then monthly to continue learning, assimilating, and practicing positive psychology in our personal and professional lives. Several of us have met one another and we hope to eventually all meet each other in person.
 
Our primary intention for this blog is to record kernels of our understanding and experiences that relate to positive psychology. A secondary goal is to make this information available to others who are interested in the field of positive psychology and what it can do to improve the quality of their life. We are open to and welcome your comments and ideas.

The field of Positive Psychology is in its infancy and we see this site as a  "living-breathing place" to share ideas and hold community discussions" as we discover what “works.” 
 
Our ongoing classes and groups are both didactic and experiential. What we have discovered is as we learn, apply, and talk to each other about our experiences applying the Positive Psychology knowledge in our personal and work lives, our understanding deepens.
 
We have also found that our weekly or even monthly meetings create a foundation for a commitment to daily practice. As ethical professionals we all agree that we must “walk our talk,” to understand and support our clients and students.
 
Please join us in our journey toward and with happiness.
 
Warmly
 
The Podacious Gratipod
