A developing field in psychology is called Positive Psychology, which is exploring ways to help people become happier and productive in life. Research the Internet to learn more about this type of psychology. Share what you learn with your classmates on the discussion board. Your discussion board post should contain the following:

• A description of the field of positive psychology
• Your critique of positive psychology
• What research suggests on the value of this developing field
• How you would apply what you have learned about positive psychology to enhance your happiness and positive outlook on life – ways to build a positive perspective and state of mind.

Respond to the posting of at least two other students. In your responses you can address your opinions on the field itself, and/or your plans to apply what you have learned. You may want to discuss with another student why they agree or disagree with the concepts of this field.
