Notes on Readings #1 and #2 Reading #1 --Positive Psychology movement began in US. Why? “A self-conscious antidote to psychology’s traditional emphasis on disorders, failings, and weaknesses.” (Nettle, Reading #2) --not much correlation between income and well-being --need to pay less attention to materialist advance and more on social factors—quality of life, well-being, etc. POSITIVE STYLE Pros—start with what’s right about you rather than what’s wrong Cons—need to focus on weaknesses to get better --Optimism--pros and cons Pros—happier Cons—positive illusion, research shows optimists can be more vulnerable to depression; tend to underestimate risks Defensive pessimism—I won’t be able to do this well so I’d better practice my ass off. More prepared. But also live w/more anxiety POSITIVE EXPERIENCES --positive emotions --flow --creativity POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT Activities to Foster Well-Being --what went well today 3

Study found that employees who took 10 minutes to write down three things that had gone well each day decreased stress levels and physical complaints by 15% --what am I grateful for; count my blessings --write them down; tell people how you feel about them What is most helpful? --quieting the mind --absorption in the moment Happiness (from Comfort and Joy Chapter—Reading #2) Level One Happiness The most immediate and direct senses of happiness involve emotions or feelings, something like joy or pleasure. Positive, Momentary Feelings. Level Two Happiness An overall judgement about the balance of positive and negative feelings about your life—Life Satisfaction. Involves some reflection and cognitive assessment. Positive Judgements about Feelings.

Satisfaction with Life Scale 1. In most ways my life is close to my ideal. 2. The conditions of my life are excellent. 3. I am satisfied with my life 4. So far I have gotten the important things I want in life. 5. If I could live my life over, I would change almost nothing. 1=strongly disagree; 7=strongly agree Level Three Happiness (Quality of Life) Flourishing, fulfilling one’s potential Can you be happy (level one and two) and not flourish or thrive? Can you flourish and thrive and not be happy (level one and two)?

Happiness is there for a reason. The pursuit of happiness and the belief that we will be happy in the future keeps us going. Is this good? Some key points: 4

1. People believe they will be more happy in the future than they are now, but in fact seldom are 2. Societies don’t get happier as they get richer 3. People are consistently wrong about the impact of future life events on their happiness—people tend to overestimate the effect of life changes on their happiness, for good or for bad. Subjective Well-Being Focused on positive affect and overall satisfaction with life. Nettle in Reading #2 would call this Level Two Happiness. Hedonic Well-Being A long tradition rooted in the ideas of pleasure, happiness, and satisfaction of human appetites. Related to Subjective Well-Being Eudaimonic Well-Being The realization of one’s true potential. Each individual comes into life with unique capacities, known as one’s daimon, which dates back to Aristotle’s notion of eudaimonia as the realization of one’s true potential. “According to Aristotle, eudaimonia is behaving in a way that is noble and worthwhile for its own sake. By the Aristotelian definition, people develop their ultimate potential or capabilities and only then can they achieve eudaimonia by bringing this excellence and virtue to action. According to Aristotle, people love behaving virtuously because we learn through practice that it is the most valuable possible endeavor. It is valuable because when we are our ideal selves (whether intentionally or not) the lives of other people in our sphere of influence are benefitted. ”
