Positive psychology deals with those factors of human existence that are related to maintenance, recovery or growth of psychological well-being. In this course, we will focus on personality characteristics that can, in that sense, be viewed as 'positive'.

Guided by introspection and case studies, we examine different constructs in depth and get an idea of the current literature. From a critical point of view, we evaluate practical advice and applications that have been developed in association with findings in positive psychology.

Personal exercises in preparation for course meetings or afterwards.

Well-being: The science of feeling well
