Episode 48 - Ryan Niemiec - Using Your Strengths To Be Resilient
Manage episode 260127944 series 2615360
We liked Ryan Niemiec, PhD (author of "The Power of Character Strengths: Appreciate and Ignite Your Positive Personality") so much that we decided to bring him back for another interview. This time, we're focused on what the science tells us about being resilient and using our strengths. So, this time around we talk about why it might be best to start with what's going right before you jump into fixing a problem, how painful emotions are more powerful than the comfortable ones (like joy, hope, awe, gratitude, etc), how an under-use of our strengths can negatively affect our physical health and a 3-step process for applying our strengths to an adversity.
