Dr. Martin Seligman, a pioneer in the field of positive psychology identified Achievement as a foundational building block that contributes to a flourishing life in his PERMA model of well-being.
Achievement helps to build self-esteem and strengthens self-efficacy, our belief that we can effectively meet the challenges of life. Creating and working toward goals helps us anticipate and build hope for the future. Past successes make us feel more confident and optimistic about future attempts. Having explicit goals in life, even small ones, and making efforts to achieve them are important to well-being and happiness. This course addresses both components of achievement: being and doing. Learn how to set goals and take action that leads to success, reflects your values and elevates your well-being
