Positive Well-Being
Martin Seligman, the founder of positive psychology, describes positive well-being as human flourishing. In his book ‘Flourish’, he presents the ‘PERMA’ model for well-being:
- Positive emotion
- Engagement
- Relationships
- Meaning and purpose
- Accomplishment
Evidence suggests, that by nurturing these PERMA elements, we can boost our positive well-being. While PERMA can guide global happiness, it can also be used in career counselling and coaching to achieve a flourishing career. There are several positive psychology assessments to determine your current state of satisfaction with your career. Guided by these results, we can identify areas for development and improvement to help reach optimal levels of flourishing.
