Description
Book Introduction
My own personality strengths verified by positive psychology
Let's turn stress, the root of all illness, into a springboard for growth.


They say life is 'a tragedy when seen up close, a comedy in long shot.'
Today, borrowing the expression "close," we face various adversities and concerns in our studies, families, work, and relationships.
This suffering can be resolved or dulled into comedy, but only when we have enough distance to see it from afar.
All human beings who go through life, regardless of speed or location, live with trials and tribulations close to them.
Because of this, stress is a companion of life for everyone, from the elderly with white hair to even children.

Stress is called the root of all evil, but there is a way to overcome it and use it as a stepping stone for growth.
Positive psychology is a discipline that studies and verifies the path to happiness and well-being.
In particular, this positive psychology deals with 'character strengths' as the most important topic in overcoming stress and healing wounds.
Character strengths, which are positive personality traits and potentials found in all humans, are resources necessary for individuals and communities to live healthy and happy lives, and are an important pathway to happiness, as evidenced by empirical research conducted on various people both domestically and internationally.
The 『Positive Psychology Character Strengths-Based Stress Coping and Growth Workbook』 was published to help even non-experts use these scientifically proven character strengths to wisely cope with stress in real life.

This book, which will upgrade your life into a courageous growth drama that is neither a comedy nor a tragedy, is divided into three parts.
In Part 1, you can assess your current stress and well-being levels and discover your character strengths and signature strengths (the highest-level strengths among your character strengths that reflect your unique identity).
Additionally, we examine how well the strengths discovered in this way are being used in daily life.
Based on this, Part 2 specifically covers how to actually utilize your character strengths and representative strengths in various stressful situations, and Part 3 helps you build confidence and resilience through the use of character strengths, and apply character strengths to interpersonal relationship stress, work, health, etc.
Let's discover and develop your personality strengths and signature strengths that you didn't know you had through positive psychology based on scientific research.
With the vivid examples in this workbook, you will be able to open the door to an adventure toward greater happiness on your journey through life.
