The Suncoast ASTD OD Sig met with Lisa Jacobson, from Univ. of Pennsylvania, who is working with Dr. Martin Seligman, Chairman of the University of Pennsylvania’s Positive Psychology Center.
Lisa’s presentation focused on how the hard science of positive psychology research can help to create:
a. better thinking, judgment, deductive reasoning and creativity
b. durably strong personal and interpersonal climates.
She emphasized that some people still think of positive psychology as “fairy dust and rainbows”, instead of the science-based psychological equivalent of creating good physical health, and taking research-proven preventative measures to maintain it.
