Positive Psychology evening class, City University, Thursdays, starts soon



The weekly Positive Psychology Evening class at City University, London starts soon.

http://www.city.ac.uk/cae/cfa/business/coaching_business_skills/positive_psychology.html

This is one of my favourite courses to teach, and judging by the feedback it is also appreciated by most students.
It's a very practical course - you will learn not only the theory regarding happiness, strengths, wisdom, positive relationships and emotional intelligence (and more) but also practical tips (many of them evidence-based) to help you improve your life.
