Flourish-Martin Seligman

[BeHea1thy]

Marty Seligman was/is a maverick of sorts in the psychology field when he promoted the theory of health, rather than illness. This led to an investigation of work on optimism, motivation, and character. He calls it Positive Psychology. Now that it's "grown up" from it's beginnings about 18 years ago, he's refined and distilled the principles into a theory of "well-being and calls it the PERMA model.

This model has 5 measurable elements:

POSITIVE EMOTION (of which happiness and life satisfaction are all aspects)
ENGAGEMENT
RELATIONSHIPS
MEANING
ACHIEVEMENT

No one element defines well-being, but each contributes to it. Authentic Happiness theory was about feeling good and claims that the way we choose our life course is to try to maximize how we feel.

Well-being theory is about all five pillars, the underpinnings of the five elements is the strengths. These include self-esteem, optimism, gratitude, self-discipline, resilience, vitality, self-determination among others.
