I hope you've been able not ony to learn some things about the field of positive psychology, but also to experience some of its benefits in your life as well.
We focused specifically on the topics of positive emotions and savoring, and experimented with positive interventions in these areas. In the first two weeks, we also emphasized the scientific grounding of positive psychology, discussing some of the methods positive psychologists use to test positive interventions, trying out some of the questionnaires ourselves and looking at some of the results of the research. To enable us to use our powers in a more balanced way, we emphasize the importance of focusing on how to use the green side more frequently and more effectively. We talked about the importance of the red side of the cape and noted how most of us tend to overuse that side.
We used a thought experiment and talked about these powers in terms of a reversible cape.
We differentiated between the powers we all have to fight against things we don't want in the world, and the powers we have to help grow more of the things we do want. In the first two weeks, we focused on some of the conceptual underpinnings of positive psychology. Eggerman M.Welcome to the third week of our course on the theory, research, and practice of positive interventions. Articulating a coherent global health agenda will come from principled action, enacted through courage and prudence in decision-making to foster people-centered systems of care over the entire lifespan.Ĭ. Based on the literature to date, we highlight six steps to re-orienting global health action.
This necessitates a change of heart: to keep faith with the promise it made, global health requires a realignment of core values and a sharper focus on the primacy of relationships with the communities it serves. Global health falls prey to four main temptations: coveting silo gains, lusting for technological solutions, leaving broad promises largely unfulfilled, and boasting of narrow successes. We use the parlance of mastering deadly sins and striving for greater virtues in an effort to review what is needed to transform global health action. In the spirit of critical reflection, we examine how the field of global health might surmount current challenges and prioritize its ethical mandate, namely to achieve, for all people, equity in health. How might global health master deadly sins and strive for greater virtues?
