If you're thinking, isn't positive psychology a bit 'woo woo', and a bit like forcing yourself to take a sunny outlook, then this episode is for you. As an approach to a happier, more balanced inner and outer life, positive psychology is not woo – it has a solid scientific foundation with practical methodologies. Gemma, Ross Garner and their guest, Leadership coach Sandra Berko, discuss these very points this week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast. We explore: ·       what positive psychology is and isn't ·       what the science suggests we do to find balance ·       how you can help others to use positive psychology. Ross mentioned an earlier episode of the podcast on job crafting.
