P. Wong Positive psychology has come full circle to its existential roots. PP is intrinsically existential, because it is concerned with such fundamental questions about human existence as: What is the good life? What makes life worth living? How can one find happiness? However, these existential questions cannot be fully addressed through a positivistic approach, because human life cannot be reduced to a set of test scores. A maturing PP, secure in its place in the chronicles of mainstream psychology, can now return to its existential-humanistic roots to rediscover the richness of lived experience (Schneider, Bugental, & Pierson, 2001) and the many pathways to meaning in life (Wong & Fry, 1998).

However, when the question of personal meaning arises-and it seems to do so more and more in the so-called post-modern era-work and the workplace still are viewed only infrequently as legitimate sources of reply. For many people, it is as if authentic meaning only happens outside of the so-called work environment! Resources - Articles Mon, 22 Mar 2010 10:28:15 +0100
