Support the show and join the conversation at ResearchingHappy.locals.com. Matt sits down with Emeritus Professor Corey Keyes, to discuss Corey’s foundational work in the field of positive psychology, particularly on the concepts of flourishing and languishing. Corey talks about languishing as a form of invisibility, it's prevalence in society, and how it poses a risk factor for mental and physical illness. They discuss the dual-continua model of mental illness and mental health, how this challenges traditional models of wellbeing, and Corey shares some fascinating stories about the origins of positive psychology.
