In today's rapidly evolving world, positive psychology stands out as a transformative force in social and human sciences. Unlike traditional psychology, which often focused on the negative, this innovative approach centers on the positive aspects of human experience. By emphasizing positive emotions, strengths, and virtues, positive psychology strives to cultivate well-being and personal growth. The five guiding principles—abundance, virtues and strength, positive deviance, flourishing versus languishing, and happiness and well-being—provide a comprehensive framework to address contemporary challenges. By challenging conventional paradigms, positive psychology offers a refreshing perspective, contributing to the enhancement of individuals' lives and reshaping our understanding of human flourishing.

The 5 principles include: abundance, virtues and strength, positive deviance, flourishing v. languishing, and happiness and wellbeing.
