Discussion: Positive Psychology and the Current Economic “Crisis”

Purpose: Explore relation of positive psychology to current culture (zeitgeist).

Positive psychology emerged partly in response to the unprecedented affluence of the last several decades. We became richer, but not happier, and rates of depression increased significantly, raising the question of “if money doesn’t make us happy, what does?” What effect have you seen or believe may result from our current economic “crisis”? Will the money-happiness connection be dramatically reinforced? Will people count their blessings, focus on the most important things in life, change how they think about consumption and spend their money? Downsize? Are there positive lessons to be learned from economic uncertainty and hardship? What do you think?

Answer 1

Positive psychology is certainly associated with observing everything very positively and not thinking or tracking down about mind is demanding for. In what way would we get our real peace from is it the luxurious bed or is it any other bed.

We have to rethink on our definition of reinforcement. By giving or receiving what kind of reinforcement is really going to make us happy. We should learn from economic uncertainties. While progressing well should track down our behaviour and should try to restrain from certain things rather than adapting with those everytime.

If everyday if we try to find ourselves from economic uncertainties then we may achieve our peaceful mind at one point.
