Two Minutes Du Jour

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive. It is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, cultivate what is best within themselves, and enhance their experiences of work, love, and play.

Today, I’m excited to introduce you to the Authentic Happiness website, a remarkable resource curated by Dr. Martin Seligman, Ph. D., a renowned author and the father of positive psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.

I first learned about Dr. Seligman’s work when I joined the Women Presidents Organization (WPO) in 2007, and since then, I have become an avid fan of this site’s comprehensive assessments. The Authentic Happiness website offers free resources, including readings, videos, research opportunities, conferences, and various questionnaires with feedback. Topics include strengths, grit, compassionate love, work-life balance, well-being, gratitude, meaning in life, emotions, close relationships, and more.

One of the most valuable features of the website and assessments is the ability to create a free, confidential account and revisit the surveys over time. You can retake the assessments and track changes as you grow. Some assessments are even geared toward children.

By participating in the assessments on the Authentic Happiness website, you not only gain personal insights but also contribute to valuable research that can help others. This opportunity to be involved and make a difference in the field of psychology is an important part of the website’s mission.

I encourage you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth with the Authentic Happiness website. Whether you’re looking to enhance your strengths, improve your relationships, or simply lead a more fulfilling life, this site has something for you. It’s a journey that will inspire and motivate you to reach your full potential.
