Positive Psychology is a strengths-based approach to mental health and well-being, grounded in the scientific study of resilience and optimal functioning. This practical science can be applied to empower people to generate and sustain a positive approach to life, take responsibility for their own choices, actions and attitudes, increase resiliency to difficult circumstances, through focusing on ways to identify and make the most of one's strengths, talents and gifts. The "happiness skills" associated with positive psychology are the same skills developed through the games and exercises used in improvisation and are extremely important tools for life
