Positive psychology is the branch of psychology that uses scientific understanding and effective intervention to aid in the achievement of a satisfactory life. It is the study of happiness that examines how ordinary people can become happier and more fulfilled.

In less than a decade, positive psychology has caught the attention not only of the academic community but also the general public. One of the principle aims of Positive Psychology has been to correct this imbalance by propelling the field into supplementing its hard-won knowledge about suffering and mental illness with a great deal more knowledge about positive emotion. Positive psychology represents a commitment to the sources of psychological wellness, such as positive emotions, positive experiences, positive environments, and human strengths and virtues.

A variety of interventions have been developed to facilitate positive emotions, wellbeing, growth, creativity, relationships, fulfilment, and other desirable consequences. An intervention can also be defined as “positive” if the mechanism or target outcome is a positive variable such as positive emotion, meaning, and so on. The goal of positive intervention is to give you a quick and effective way to relieve stress and anxiety that can arise during the course of everyday events.
