What people are saying
field of positive psychology
Very good opportunity from a legend in the field of positive psychology!
I gained knowledge not only about the field of positive psychology but insights about my own life and behavior as well.
Perhaps one or two lectures on other trends ad research results from the wider field of positive psychology would be apt.
I will say, however, that this is not a general course on Positive Psychology, but rather a focus on the professor's research on love and emotions in the field of Positive Psychology.
This is an eye opening course that explores the new field of the new field of Positive psychology.
I am inspired and plan to continue learning about the field of positive psychology.
An enriching experience that shaped my perspective about the field of positive psychology and made me understand its significance in day to day life and its possible applications.

loving kindness
Now I have a lot to do in France to spread out with loving kindness with my patients in my office and in companies where I teach mindfulness meditation.
I especially practice the Loving Kindness Meditation and love the effects it has on me.
I will continue to learn more about Positive Psychology and Loving Kindness !!!
the loving kindness meditation is a special gift that will be with me forever.I especially appreciate how the lessons were managed, with the small group of four "students" who were then interviewed as experts in their fields of study or practice.I only have to complain about the video quality.
the way this course was presented was quite unique: watching a few people from various walks of life (but most related to the University) discuss various topic and exchange opinion and experiences about positivity.I liked the material provided for meditation about loving kindness and I have been using it on a daily (well 5 days a week) basis.why I gave only 3 stars:the material was overall rather shallow - after reading about positive psychology, I still very little substance it has to offer.in addition.
Excellent insights on loving kindness.

dr. frederickson
Dr. Frederickson beautifully weaves together the importance of cultivating positivity with a scientific explanation on how doing so is possible.
I had taken the course 'A Lifetime of Happiness and Fulfillment' ALOHA-F) (see Indian School of Business) prior to this and recall Dr. Frederickson and her "Broaden-and-Build" Theory being sited.
I listened to the book that Dr. Frederickson wrote called Positive Psychology on CD while I was taking the course and both of them put together gave me many strategies and scientific evidence of cultivating positive psychology and connection and the benefits.
Thank you Dr. Frederickson and team!
Would love to learn more from Dr. Frederickson Thank you Dr B. L. FREDRICKSON for this course.
