Positivity — The Quiet Confidence That Goodness Still Exists

Send us Fan MailHey friends — this week, I’m talking about something close to my heart: positivity — not the fake-it-till-you-make-it kind, but the quiet confidence that goodness still exists, even when life feels heavy and out of balance. I’ll share stories from my week — like seeing my daughter and her foster kittens (Solstice and Equinox) and how a walk around Silver Lake reminded me that we can stay grounded. I’ll also tell you the story of The Seashells of Positivity. We’ll look at the science behind positivity, including research by Sonja Lyubomirsky, Laura King, and Ed Diener (2005) showing that people who experience frequent positive emotions live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I also link to one of my favorite resources — the Calm Master Class on Happiness by Shawn Achor, which explores the science of choosing happiness intentionally.
