Overview
Martin Seligman's introduction of positive psychology in the 2000s shifted the focus of psychology from pathology to the study of human strengths and well-being. This paradigm shift, rooted in Aristotle's concept of eudaimonia, has reshaped mental health discourse, influencing education, corporate wellness, and cultural narratives about happiness. By emphasizing virtues like gratitude and resilience, Seligman's work has sparked both acclaim and debate about the science of flourishing.
