The 5 steps to a positive mindset
Worked across the personal development (PD) space on a range of different industry magazines as I have for some years, I will admit to being a little bit cynical about the hype created by some of its spruikers.
I have a particularly harsh view of the ‘earn a million-dollars-in-a-minute’ personal development coaches who are all bombast and no substance, so when I come across people who offer true value in the PD space I am inclined to listen to them.

How to maximise positive psychology
Positive psychology, like all good science, has evolved, becoming richer and more applicable as research uncovers what works to cultivate happiness. Our ancestors rubbed two sticks together to make fire, learning through experimentation, replication, and results how to reliably and consistently create warmth when needed. At first they guessed at how to make fire, just like some of us today guess how to make ourselves happy (which, ironically enough, sometimes makes us feel unhappy). We have the science now to orient ourselves to happiness, and through the science of positive psychology we can use it to flourish, building a fire of positive emotions that support and nourish our wellbeing.
The question, however that claws at most of us from time to time is how to maximise positive psychology?
