In this article, the author(s) discuss about how positive education has a great impact on a student’s overall well-being. They even go into how in some schools, similar to ours, that have a class that teaches mindfulness and how to cultivate positive emotions. It was surprising to see that there are some schools out there that also have a class similar to Science of Happiness. It is not a required class and can easily be looked over if some students have fulfilled most of their requirements for what they are studying. The class also appears to have very little importance to what a student is majoring in, however, they don’t know how helpful this class can be for them. We are aware of eating healthy, getting enough sleep and exercise is important for our health, but we never look into how much happiness it gives us.
Learning about positive psychology has become quite an experience for me and I’m able to view the world in more of an optimistic light. Mindfulness is still something I need to work on, but it is a slow process.
