Greg I am curious, you state – “you have mixed feelings about positive psychology” can you tell me why you have mixed feelings?

Subject: What mentally strong people do

Hi List,

 FYI, here is the most popular blog on PT.
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.psychologytoday.com_us_blog_the-2Dpulse-2Dmental-2Dhealth_202004_10-2Dthings-2Dmentally-2Dstrong-2Dpeople-2Ddo-2Dduring-2Dpandemic&d=DwIGaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=YhMZmz8bylhK59uuOqt6EYP1AcORWrG-1WoOr00Yolo&s=_a420oHE9PRZD9IgJLJpHocG2w-RenvvR8mp5NXMzMk&e=

As those who know the Unified Framework know, I tend to have mixed feelings about positive psychology and prescriptions for happiness. But I do think that the recent framing that is evident in this blog in terms of character adaptation that tends to be associate with anti-fragile resilience is reasonable. That is, I am generally fine with the basic frame of trying to teach people what “mentally strong” (i.e., resilient, anti-fragile, not overly reactive or easily overwhelmed). As such, I am sharing it here and welcome considerations.

Best,
Gregg
