Mauro Libi Crestani: The benefits of positive thinking and or positive attitude

There has always been a debate about the benefits of positive thinking and or positive attitude. Some believe that it is just an internal good feeling that in reality do not benefit a person at all. Well, the students at Harvard university seem to disagree with that critique of positive thinking. Harvard’s Positive Psychology 1504, taught by professor Tal Ben-Shahar (PhD), will enter the history books as the most popular course in the history of Harvard University. A course taught at Harvard on the effects of Positive attitude and it is Harvard's most popular course ever given.

This course is about the psychological aspects of life fulfillment and flourishing, by teaching about empathy, friendship, love, achievement, creativity, spirituality, happiness, and humor. Tal Ben-Shahar received his PHD in Organizational Psychology. In 2011, Ben-Shahar joined Angus Ridgway to confound Potentialife, a leadership development program that uses science to help organizations develop ideal leadership behaviour s and to bring positive psychology into daily lives.

Ann Harbison said "Never let a good crisis go to waste." She expressed the dea that things do not always happen for the best, but a positive person makes the best from what happens.

Patrick Callegham is a strong believer that exercise is beneficial to mental health, it reduces anxiety and depression and negative mood and it increases self esteem and cognitive functioning. Exercise can increase your productivity at work and your enjoyment in life. it can also keep you healthier and decrease sick days for a business.

Dr Tal Ben-Shahar talks about being our personal best is a work in progress through our lives by working on our self esteem and health of body and mind. Which business would not benefit from employees who perform at their very best.
