Optimistic Promises of Positive Psychology: Well-being and its Possible Applications.

The discipline that scientifically studies the positive aspect of human life is known as positive psychology. It is an applied branch of psychology, which integrates the positive elements of life in a person. In today's fast-paced technological era, humans are left dissatisfied and unhappy because of the absence of a wide sense of positivity and positive openness. The present paper is an effort to introduce the field of Positive psychology, how it emerged as a distinct scientific area within Psychology. It also focuses on well-being which is not only a major concern of everyday inquiry but also of intense scientific scrutiny in terms of hedonic and eudiamonic perspectives. The paper focuses on the optimistic promises of the discipline in terms of massive possibilities where it can be applied in a wide range of practical areas such as health, education, parenting, psychotherapy, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
