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 character strengths and how to apply these gifts towards a more flourishing and fulfilling life.

I just viewed the 10 minute introduction.  It was spot on.

I’d even consider buying a few courses as gifts.
