Do life’s challenges seem to be mysterious and overwhelming at times? Are you wanting to learn how to cope and overcome those challenges? This course will help you to identify strategies for taking on those challenges in such a way that you not only can accomplish your objectives, but also help you to grow as a person and to develop stronger resilience.
You will learn about the field of Positive Psychology which studies the impact of positive emotions and mindsets (growth) on humans and their ability to address the various challenges life throws at us. We will examine optimism, hope, resilience, GRIT, the nature of anxiety and coping with it, and motivation.
