Abstract
The positive psychology movement has taken issue with psychology's exclusive focus on pathology and repairing damage. The three pillars of the research in positive psychology are (a) positive individual traits, (b) positive subjective experiences, and (c) positive institutions and communities (Seligman, 2003). Thus, positive psychology is the study of strengths and virtues rather than weaknesses and suffering. Its focus is on learning how to develop the qualities that allow individuals to flourish.
