2. Chris Peterson Master Class on Positive Psychology Applications Launching

I'm excited to announce that Chris Peterson is teaching a specially designed 8-week class on positive psychology interventions and practical applications across these domains:

One's personal life,
The workplace,
Families and schools,
Psychotherapy and
Coaching

Chris specifically designed this class for us. It is based, in part, on an Internet survey of 1464 readers of Coaching Toward Happiness. People who filled out the survey listed their most important questions about positive psychology interventions, and the one question they'd most like to ask Chris if they had the chance. Chris then built this master class around their comments.

Chris last taught this back in the fall of 2007 and the class evaluations were extraordinary.

Here's the information:
