Very positve article today in Business Week about positive psychology.
Positive psychology, in its current form, was born at the University of Pennsylvania in 1998, when Martin E.P. Seligman, then a Penn professor and president of the American Psychological Assn., made the study of positive emotion the theme of his tenure and developed a master’s program for its study. Positive psychology caught fire, with Penn remaining the locus. In 2002, the University of Michigan’s business school began offering PhDs in Positive Organizational Scholarship. In 2004, Case Western Reserve University began granting MBAs in Positive Organizational Development.
