Positive Psychology – what a great topic.  At least in western psychology it started blossoming deliberately around 1999-2000.  The idea is that until then clinical psychology had been so focused on pathology, and when someone said “I am ok” it meant there was an absence of sickness and pathology.  But what about flourishing?  Positive states such as joy, gratitude, happiness, excitement, amusement, etc?  It’s becoming a big deal.  I am actually drawing from positive psychology for my dissertation and will love to use this forum to run some ideas by when the time comes.
