Martin Seligman on positive psychology

For many years Psychology was concerned with healing pathologies, it was all about making the lives of miserable people less miserable, and as it was a good thing, in fact a great thing, Dr. Martin Seligman believes that Psychology should be:

• as concerned  with strength as with weakness;
• as interested in building the best things in life as in repairing the worst;
• as concerned with making the lives of normal people fulfilling and with nurturing high talent as with healing pathology.

So about 10 years ago Dr. Martin Seligman founded the field of Positive Psychology.
