Life Mastery is a complete program consisting of 9 video-based masterclasses that teach science-based, effective strategies to those who want to lead a fulfilling life.
In this first course, we introduce the field of positive psychology. Positive psychology aims to answer the following questions: What are the characteristics of people with high happiness levels or “subjective well-being?” What are the qualities of people who manage their troubles effectively? In other words, what strengths do these people possess? Moreover, we distinguish between positive psychology’s first and second waves, where the latter has adopted a more balanced perspective on well-being and human functioning. This course also introduces The Sailboat Metaphor. This metaphor compares human functioning to the journey of a sailboat. It offers a multifaceted and easy-to-understand structure for addressing the essential elements of well-being and their interrelations. The metaphor will serve as a framework throughout this series of masterclasses.
