Rather than concentrating primarily on mental illness and psychological disorders, the book explores human strengths, positive emotions, resilience, optimism, hope, creativity, wisdom, gratitude, and overall well-being. The authors combine scientific research with practical applications to explain how positive psychological principles can improve education, work environments, relationships, physical and mental health, leadership, and community life. Topics include happiness, emotional intelligence, character strengths, life satisfaction, motivation, coping with adversity, spirituality, forgiveness, and positive interventions designed to enhance psychological flourishing. Numerous case studies, self-assessment exercises, and research findings help readers understand how these concepts can be applied in everyday life. Written for undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology as well as professionals in counselling, education, social work, and human resource management, the book presents an evidence-based perspective on promoting healthy and meaningful lives through the development of individual and social strengths.  aHappiness.  aHuman strengths.  aPositive psychology.  aWell-being  cVC OFFICE  c70082d70082  00102ddc4071aSNULbSNULd2026-06-30l0o150.198 SNYpVC794r2026-06-30 15:46:14w2026-06-30yVC OFFICEzBooks Received from VC office
