Positive Psychology Toolkit©

Good question and here’s the answer: The Positive Psychology Toolkit is all of those things! It’s a private online community of positive psychology practitioners and enthusiasts who subscribe annually to have access to a wealth of resources and a team of positive psychology experts, and the ability to network and swap notes with each other.

The Toolkit covers the whole of the positive psychology field so the subject matter is wide-ranging, but you’ll recognize themes such as communication, compassion, coping, emotions, goals, gratitude, meaning, mindfulness, mindset, resilience, savoring, self-acceptance, strengths, and values.

We love to do the research for you, so we work with universities, organizations, and researchers around the world to find and add the latest scientific tools. We add five new tools each month, so you’ll always have the latest positive psychology tools at your fingertips.

The tools can be adapted for the self, individuals, groups, teams, and for different client groups such as children, young people, employees, women, or men. You are free to use your own experience and expertise to adapt the tools to your own particular scenario.

Certainly! The Toolkit includes loads of tools that you can use to improve your own life and develop yourself.

The Toolkit was designed, built, and is still being expanded, by a team of seven positive psychology academics and practitioners, with the help and expertise of some of the top researchers in the field. It’s an initiative of PositivePsychology.com, a collective dedicated to the power of positive psychology to improve lives in homes, offices, and communities everywhere. It was founded by Dr. Hugo Alberts and Seph Fontane Pennock.

The price is in US dollars $ (USD).

The Toolkit also contains some resources where scientific review isn’t necessary; for instance, a beginner’s guide or an overview of a particular positive psychology theme. The Toolkit developers are academics with both a scientific and experiential background.
