Balancing Life Domains
Life domains are the different areas of our lives, such as our friends, work, hobbies, etc. Studies show that life balance, the ability to divide attention between our most valued life domains, is associated with higher levels of well-being. In this masterclass, we address the role of attention, the subjective evaluation of life domains, the role of need fulfillment, and actions that are required for the creation of life balance.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to understand and manage emotional encounters. Individuals who score highly on emotional intelligence are better able to handle everyday stress, foster a greater number of meaningful close relationships, are more socially competent, and experience higher levels of well-being. In this masterclass, we provide a scientific definition of EI, address the different processes that underlie the construct, and introduce a wide range of practical tools for increasing EI.

With increasing rates of depression, substance misuse, suicide, divorce, and burnout around the world, feelings of isolation and meaninglessness are more pervasive than ever. This masterclass covers the complex construct of meaning. More specifically, it begins by addressing the problem of defining meaning, different types of meaning, and ways to increase meaning in life. After covering the concept of meaning, the inherent link between values and meaning is introduced. We discuss the definition of values, the importance of paying attention to values, beliefs about values, different types of motivation underlying values, and ways to promote value-congruent behavior.
Countless people are suffering from low self-esteem. Tormented by feelings of low self-worth and negative self-talk, they enter the search for self-esteem. And yet, this very search is one of the greatest threats to wellbeing. The ongoing attempt to convince ourselves that we are worthy inevitably sets the stage for failure. We simply cannot always live up to the standards that make up high self-esteem. Research findings consistently show that there is a far healthier alternative to self-esteem: self-acceptance. This masterclass will help you support your clients to successfully build a healthy relationship with themselves, by increasing self-acceptance and building self-compassion.

Positive psychology is concerned with positive human traits. Rather than merely focusing on what is wrong with people and fixing their problems, positive psychology aims to identify positive human characteristics that promote well-being. These characteristics, referred to as “strengths,” are explored in depth in this masterclass. First, we explain the concept of strength and then focus on several skills and abilities that are at the core of optimal strength use. More specifically, we address the extent to which we devote attention to our strengths, the beliefs we hold about our strengths, our motivation for using our strengths, and how to regulate our strengths in a way that prevents underuse or overuse.
The study of psychological resilience aims to understand why some people can withstand — or even thrive upon experiencing — difficult life events. A resilient person can quickly bounce back from adversity and positively adapt to the novel demands of the situation. This masterclass addresses the construct of resilience and introduces several key skills and abilities that have been found to promote resilience. More specifically, we address the extent to which attention is directed at positive and negative events, the interpretation of these events, the ways in which individuals deal with them, and the motivation for dealing with them in a particular way.

Humans have a strong need to belong and value their connection with others. Christopher Peterson, one of positive psychology’s most prestigious researchers and promoters, famously said: “Other People Matter.” With this quote, Peterson powerfully summarized decades of well-being research showing that the key contributing factor to personal happiness is the social relationships we build. Also, social relationships are an invaluable resource in difficult times. Research has consistently shown that having a positive, supportive network is one of the essential characteristics of resilient people. In this masterclass, you will learn the key principles of relationships that promote human flourishing and gain access to hands-on tools to help your clients discover and invest in social bonds that matter.
People differ greatly in their ability to plan and look ahead. While some people live their life with a clear vision, others wander through life aimlessly. Decades of research show how much the types of goals people set matters. Some goals are better for people’s mental health, personal growth, and well-being than others, because they better express a person’s underlying interests, values, talents, needs, and motives. This masterclass addresses the key principles underlying proper goal setting and goal striving, different types of motivation, and ways to effectively realize goals.
