The Positive Psychlopedia is your guide to the science of happiness, all in one place – whether you’re a student, a psychology professional, or just someone trying to get a little happier.

We feature an ever-growing collection of positive psychology research, including a database of people and books. Our blog showcases news and perspectives in positive psychology. If you’d like something more practical, check out our fun, low-commitment course The Year of Happy, which teaches the basics of happiness science in 2 hours a week.

Our goal is to be helpful to academics, students, journalists, and anyone else who wants to stay up to date with the latest happenings in the science of happiness – and maybe learn a thing or two to apply to their own lives.
