Read More »I spent years studying damage, deficit, and dysfunction in the human mind. I don’t remember once in my training hearing the words “joy,” “awe” or “well-being.” We talked about “happiness” but only in a negative sense. During a manic phase of bipolar illness, patients may experience excessive happiness. The diagnostic criterion of mania includes a persistently elevated or expansive mood and inflated self-esteem. This is a bad thing. It has negative consequences like irresponsible spending or reckless sexual behavior. Genuine happiness is not given much thought in the training of psychologists and psychiatrists. The goal of treatment is to get a patient “back to baseline” (not clinically sick) and the goal of most research is to gain a better understanding of mental disorders. Studying what people are like at their best has not received much attention until recently. In 1998, Martin Seligman was the President of the American Psychological Association. He had a successful career studying depression and was known for his work on the theory of “learned helplessness” as a model for depression. Yet the singular focus on illness troubled him: Psychologists (and psychiatrists) have scant knowledge of what makes life worth living. They have come to understand quite a bit about how people survive and endure under conditions of adversity. However, psychologists (and psychiatrists) know very little about how normal people flourish… Seligman set out to change that. He broke new ground by founding the modern field of Positive Psychology. Positive psychology proposes to correct this imbalance by focusing on strengths as well as weaknesses, on building the best things in life as well as repairing the worst. It asserts that human goodness and excellence is just as authentic as distress and disorder, that life entails more than the undoing of problems. Positive psychology has flourished over the past two decades, leading to a greater understanding of optimal human functioning and resilience. Seligman’s life-changing book, Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-being, outlines his groundbreaking theory of well-being known as the PERMA model. The theory holds that the following five elements are the building blocks of a good life:

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – Hold the hot dog – a recent study suggests eating just one could take 36 minutes off your life. That’s according to researchers at the University of Michigan, who published a study in the journal Nature Food in August. The study analyzed nearly 6,000 foods in the U.S. diet and measured their effects in minutes of healthy life gained or lost. Researchers devised an index that calculates the net beneficial or detrimental health burden in minutes of healthy life associated with a serving of food. It’s all based on a study called the Global Burden of Disease, which measures morbidity associated with one’s choices of food. One of the foods researchers analyzed was a standard beef hot dog on a bun. According to the study, its 61 grams of processed meat resulted in the loss of 27 minutes of healthy life. But when you add ingredients like sodium and trans fatty acids, the final value clocked in at 36 minutes lost. On the other end of the spectrum, consumption of foods like nuts, fruits, and non-starchy vegetables have positive effects on health, according to the study.
