The new site, www.reflectivehappiness.com provides users with a series of scientifically tested exercises that have been clinically proven to decrease depression while improving emotional well being, allowing for more happiness in life.
Dr. Seligman, the father of the positive psychology movement, is a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.
The new Web site describes many of Dr. Seligman's greatest discoveries, drawn from a lifetime of work, into a single online resource where users can sign in and follow a prescribed set of interactive exercises, personally designed and tested by Dr. Seligman. The process begins with an upfront assessment of one's own happiness and depression levels. Those benchmarks are then used throughout the program to determine progress toward living a happier, more positive life with less depression, and negativity.
Along the way, users receive online streaming video training from Dr. Seligman, who kicks off each exercise with an in-depth explanation of its purpose and desired result. To help, users can also click on any one of several virtual partners who can help steer them through the process, explain the exercises, and share why the exercises work.
