Creating community around Positive and Coaching Psychology.
The Positive Coaching Lab is devoted to the cultivation of happiness and fulfilment for all individuals.
At the heart of our vision for the world is a society in which everyone enjoys a good quality of life and feels fulfilled in their daily lifestyles. Our mission is to enhance health and happiness through translational research, practice, and education in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, and to create community in these fields.
We believe that by enhancing our fundamental scientific understanding of wellbeing, we are moving toward a new model of wellness and healing.
“The aim of Positive Psychology is to catalyze a change in psychology from a preoccupation only with repairing the worst things in life to also building the best qualities in life.”
— Martin Seligman
