Lesson 3
why positive pschology?
first reason
The reason why we need positive pschology is to shift the pendulum from the 21:1 ratio that we have today for every one study on depression or anxiety we have 21 studies on,for one study on happiness or wellbeing.
why do some individuals succeed despite the unfavorable circumstance?
it's up to you to make that difference in your life.
quote: Marva Collins "how can we cultivate the seed of greatness in our student?"
question make a difference! which is why it is also important to ask the positive psychology question,which is the salutogenic question: what's the source of health?
what is the source of success? what is the source of wellbeing?
second reason
second reason for having positive psychology's field of study and focusing on what works and focusing on research in happiness,relationships and wellbing is because happiness does not spontaneously(自然的) rise when take unhappiness away.
getting rid of the negative does not guarantee us the positive.
quote:Pink Floyd "people are comfortably numb" 
how can we get beyond that" comfortably numb"? how can we get beyond that"quite desperation"? To excitement ,to joy,to happiness?In order to do that,we need to cultivate these traits. they don't spontaneoulsy emerge once the painful experiences go away.And that is why we need positive psychology.
third reason 
the third reason why positive psychology is important is because positive psychology and the areas that we study and more importantly,
apply within the field of positive psychology,do not just take us from the zero to  positive.they also help us deal with the negative,they help us deal with anxiety,
depression and painful experiences and emotions.
