Join one of the worldâs most influential psychologists in exploring the transformative powers of positivity.
The Dalai Lama declared that âthe purpose of our lives is to be happy.â Indeed, prioritizing positivity can boost your health and well-being in powerful ways. And when positivity resonates between you and others, it strengthens your relationships and communities, making them kinder and more compassionate, more supportive of everyoneâs health and well-being.
In this remarkable 15-lecture audio course, Dr. Barbara Fredricksonâcelebrated professor, best-selling author, TED Talk Celebrity, and leading positive psychology expertâshows you how to enhance your awareness of fleeting states of emotional uplift to help balance your brainâs built-in bias toward the negative. Youâll learn how even subtle positive emotions â like enjoyment, gratitude, serenity, and awe â can expand your awareness and ignite upward spirals of growth within you.
Dr. Fredrickson, recipient of the Tang Prize for Achievements in Psychology, is the author of Positivity, Love 2.0, and more than 130 peer-reviewed articles in the field of positive psychology. Through her exceptional lectures, you will learn to challenge the reflexive habit of seeing emotions as âbelongingâ to individuals (e.g., your joy, her anger). Youâll find that emotions, especially positive emotions, can often more accurately be described as âbelongingâ to the collective, and see how this resonance of positivity might well be the most elemental building block of love.
