About Us

Positive neuroscience focuses on the flourishing and optimized human brain and was coined by Dr. Martin E.P. Seligman. It emerged from decades of neuroscience research on human disease and dysfunction, with little to no research on the opposite: human flourishing and optimization. Shouldn’t we strive for health and happiness everyday, not only when either goes downhill?

Through daily, wellbeing practices, not only will disease and dysfunction be prevented, but positive health outcomes will be enhanced. The application of positive neuroscience for clinical interventions has shown this with increased emotional wellbeing and resilience and attenuated chronic depression, loneliness, substance use, suicide rates, and overall mental health disorders (Allen, 2019; Sliwa, 2019). Two specific interventions, known as meditation and creative flow, both promote optimal brain functioning and maximize human flourishing through positive mental health outcomes (Alexander et al., 2020; Sheldon et al., 2014). Many of these interventions are shared and promoted in our prototype.
