We love to do the research for you, so we work with universities, organizations, and researchers around the world to find and add the latest scientific tools. We add five new tools each month, so you’ll always have the latest positive psychology tools at your fingertips.

  2. Ryan M. Niemiec, Psy.D.

    This toolkit is a tremendous resource for the growing array of positive psychology practitioners who are interested in applying the latest tools. In addition, this toolkit is an outright goldmine for practitioners inside of the positive psychology field or brand new to it.

    My client is a company which was in the process of closing a manufacturing plant. Understandably, the staff were in a very negative state, unable to concentrate at work in their remaining months and starting to feel the ill-effects of the stress and uncertainty in their home relationships. Despite plenty of company support – such as retraining, career guidance, and job skills support – things remained very negative. So I produced a 12-part series on resilience for the staff, with short videos and worksheets, including a range of exercises adapted from The Positive Psychology Toolkit. The results have been wonderful. The HR manager tells me that for the first time in six months people are starting to smile again, that great teamwork is returning and that the culture has shifted back to being more productive and positive. Importantly, the staff are now feeling more optimistic about their prospects in new roles, which is helping them have better outcomes in their job search, and in their home lives too. This work makes my heart sing! Thank you for a great toolkit that helped me make this happen for these beautiful people. I plan to keep up my subscription indefinitely.

  5. Allison Cowan, M.Ed, PCC

    Your products are truly a lifeline for my coaching business. For example, I may have a client who likes “homework”. I have found that the supplemental materials actually boost a client’s forward growth more quickly when they are used. For myself, while I have great coaching skills, if there is an issue or a topic where I need more knowledge and/or understanding, I can always find what I need.

    I have used multiple tools, especially in team meetings and workshops. For example, the Strength vs. Weakness tool was deeply impactful in highlighting the mental shift when teams are focused on one versus the other. I also use the Positive Team Timeline at quarterly’s retreats and AGM’s. I am able to assist clients with ready-built tools to get them moving in the right direction. The constant updates of new tools is incredible.

  10. Rosalind Tyburski

    The Positive Psychology Toolkit has a lot of great information and ideas that can be readily used. I am currently working as a Change Manager for a very large global corporation; additionally, I have a small private coaching business on the side. I like that the toolkit contains things that I can use in both cases! Sometimes, I find that the tool may not exactly fit the situation I’m coaching, but it will usually get me close enough and I can adapt to the need at hand.

  11. Dawn Wesley

    I have been using the Positive Psychology Toolkit for about a year. I find that it is very thorough in its presentation and gives both the mental health expert and the client a great starting point for many different issues that are a struggle for people in today’s world. I appreciate that each tool includes a page or two dedicated to the mental health professional and telling us about how to use the tool, and then a comprehensive worksheet and explanation for the client. Also, it can be used as homework or in session with the client. One thing I’d like to see is a more colorful format. I believe adding color to the pages, the images, and graphics  can bring a bit more enjoyment or excitement to the work. Thank you for providing these tools to clinicians!
