	Positive Emotion	This course will help deepen your understanding of positive emotion and its connection to human flourishing. What are emotions and what role do they play in our lives? How do both positive and negative emotions help us function effectively? Why do positive emotions help us thrive—what is the research theory that supports this? Can it be measured? Can it be raised? And most importantly, how will I benefit?
	Engagement and Flow	Have you ever been so engaged in an activity that you loose track of time…. so immersed in the challenge and enjoyment of the task that you don’t want to stop? In positive psychology terms, you are experiencing engagement, or in positive psychology terms, being in the state of flow. This course will introduce you to the theory and benefits of flow as well as practical ways to experience it more often.
	Meaning and Purpose	Did you ever wake up one morning and feel like something is missing in your life? You have all the trappings of success, wonderful relationships and much to be thankful for. But still, there’s a feeling of emptiness. Perhaps there’s a higher calling in your life—one that you haven’t yet discovered—a purpose that goes beyond you and your immediate world. This course will open your eyes and mind to the powerful benefits of having meaning and purpose in your life. In positive psychology, we call this transcendence.
	Positive Relationships	For many years traditional psychology has focused on us as individuals. It has all been about us! Yet one of the most consistent findings from Positive Psychology is that “other people matter”. Extroverts report being significantly happier than introverts. Our ability to trust others drives our ability to forge meaningful relationships and succeed in teams and in love. How trusting are you of your friends and your colleagues? What techniques and habits are most holding you back? Our course in Positive Relationships probe these questions and more.
	Character Strengths	This is one of the foundation theories of positive psychology. Learn why strengths matter—and how they operate as one of the basic drivers of well-being. You will come to understand your own strengths (and help clients identify theirs as well) and how to apply these gifts towards a more flourishing and fulfilling life.
	Using Positive Psychology to change habits and behaviors	Who doesn’t have a habit they’d like to kick! Ever feel as if you’ve tried everything and still no luck? Maybe its time for a scientifically proven approach. Gain a deeper understanding of the change process and how it can be used to enrich your life, to move you closer to a state of enduring happiness and well being. Embracing change is one of the most important pathways to getting there.
	Gratitude	Don’t we all want to be happy – and live a fulfilled and contented life? But why then do many of us spend much of our time being unhappy and discontented? Why do we complain about what we don’t have more often than giving thanks for what we do have? Do we really believe that happiness and contentment are just around the corner if only we could get there? Try a dose of gratitude—you will be amazed at how powerful a medicine it can be especially when you practice giving thanks every day. This course will introduce you to the simple yet complex theory behind gratitude.
	Resiliency	How do people deal with difficult situations that change their lives? The death of a loved one, loss of a job, serious illness, terrorist attacks and other traumatic events: these are all examples of very challenging life experiences. Many people react with strong emotions and a sense of uncertainty. Yet other people generally adapt well over time to life-changing situations and stressful conditions. This course will help you understand the power of resilience and how it can help you (and your clients) cope with the ups and downs of life.
