My Mini Blog
Stay tuned for a series of mini blog posts about how research in Positive Psychology is relevant to leaders today. Topics I'm considering include Toxic Positivity, Optimism, Gratitude, Positive & Negative Emotions, Grit, Resilience, Happiness, Goals, and Meditation. Once I have covered the basics, topics might get more personal (e.g., what drove me to developmental psychology and then to coaching) or more educational (e.g., interpreting failed replications).
In the meantime, here are some nature photos from my phone. Try to guess where each was taken.

I'm compiling a list of free online resources in Positive Psychology and that are relevant to leadership or to coaching. I'll post it here when it's ready.
For now, if you want to see how you score on scientific measures (assessments) of happiness, gratitude, optimism, or other concepts in positive psychology, check out https://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/testcenter. You'll need to sign in and create a free account, and a perk is that you can take the same measure (assessment) again later and can see if your scores change over time (e. g., before and after you try a happiness activity, or after an important event and again one year later).
