In 1998, Dr. Martin Seligman flipped the world of physical psychology on its head when instead of focusing primarily on curing mental illness, he encouraged researchers around the world to focus on their efforts on building mental wellbeing and whats makes life worth living.

This new approach is called positive psychology. Positive Psychology builds on what is right about us. It does not ignore or suggest that we will not experience difficult and painful experiences, it teaches us the skills we need to support and manager mental health and wellbeing.
