The basics of positive psychology are examined first, such as positive emotions,
emotional intelligence, happiness, subjective well - being, flow, optimism, resilience, self - determination theory, meaning, mindsets, and strengths, followed by
less common (and in my view equally important) topics, for example national and global well - being, the positive body, positive change, time
perspectives, and a review of positive psychology applications in professional contexts, such as education, coaching, and psychotherapy.
