WHAT IS POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY?
The University of Pennsylvania has defined Positive Psychology as: “The scientific study of the strengths that enable individuals and communities to thrive. The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play.”
We intend to become another major resource for the public of the practical skills, techniques and theories that help people apply this knowledge to improve their life and the community around them.

WHAT IS OPTIMISM?
OPTIMISM IS A GOOD ATTITUDE IT IS NOT A STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS.
The key concept that is often misunderstood in positive psychology is OPTIMISM. Although this is a good attitude to maintain, it is NOT a strategy for success. In fact, it can often undermine good intentions with weak dreams that are never realized because a plan was never organized. One must rely on a well prepared strategic master plan to move from dreams to real success. This can be accomplished with a pragmatic approach and the right tools. PSC offers the tools to help you transform optimistic dreams into proven achievements by helping you learn how to construct a strategic plan.
