Positive psychology is an emerging field that has made significant contributions to understanding human flourishing and personal well-being, but where did these principles originate? In this workshop, psychologists, licensed mental health professionals, medical professionals, ministry leaders, and coaches will explore the context that gave birth to what is now known as Positive Psychology. Participants will identify and describe how Positive Psychology has contributed to the scientific study of what enables individuals and communities to thrive. Additionally, participants will examine current research on the role of positive emotions in achieving and maintaining human flourishing and explore the concept of Solomonic Wisdom and discuss the idea that King Solomon may have been one of the first practitioners of Positive Psychology. Participants will discuss points of convergence between Solomonic Wisdom and Positive Psychology and the clinical relevance of this intersection for working with clients who value religious faith.
