INVESTIGATE
There is a basic truth in psychology that says what you focus on, what you investigate and look into tends to grow and strengthen. So why do we continue to focus on what is wrong with ourselves and our organizations? The field of positive psychology and its many offshoots such as Appreciative Inquiry offer a more effective choice. The father of positive psychology Dr. Martin Seligman tells us psychology should be:
- as concerned with strengths as with weakness
- as interested in building the best things in life as in repairing the worst
- as concerned with making the lives of normal people fulfilling and with nurturing high talent as with healing pathology

AUTHENTIC HAPPINESS
