The Take Away Message

We've definitely covered a lot of material in these past weeks and I can't say there is just ONE message that I can take away. I've enjoyed learning everything we talked about it and interpreting it to fit into a broader spectrum. Because all of it applies to life (and life is a pretty big deal). The lecture and readings have helped me answer some of my own personal questions. For example, the topic of happiness helped answer some questions about meaningness and well being. Like that 80% of subjective well being is pre-determined.
This class has opened my eyes to many many more resources that are not just applicable to psychology research. I also like knowing that there is an area of psychology that is devoted to the "positive" side of it.
I think that just by learning and now knowing all of this new material has made me more positive in my every day life. I feel that there are so many classes that people learn in to memorize and then there are those that you can carry on afterward. This class is definitely one of those that I can carry on the material to help facilitate an even more positive lifestyle.
