The University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Martin E.P. Seligman joined hands and created a ‘Foundations of Positive Psychology’ course. The five interactive and engaging online modules will provide you with key theories and research in the field of Positive Psychology. Topics as human flourishing, resilience and grit will pass the review.
The modules are taught by leading researchers and practitioners, including the “father of Positive Psychology”, Dr. Marin E.P. Seligman and his outstanding colleagues: Dr. James Pawelski, Dr. Angela Duckworth, Dr. Claire Robertson-Kraft and Dr. Karen Reivich. After completing all five courses, you will receive a signed certificate.
“This specialization teaches learners that human beings can have more happiness now than they do, more engagement at work and with the people they love, more meaning in their lives and more positive accomplishment.” (Dr. Martin E.P. Seligman).
