Positive Therapy focuses on mental health, versus mental illness. Its goal is to assist individuals in developing tools and skills that work towards personal happiness, rather than a quick fix for the issues of the moment. Researchers have found the keys to happiness and they do not include money, youth or education but rather a sense of humor, sense of purpose, and positive self-regard.

Positive Therapy identifies three paths to leading happy lives:
v
*extracting more pleasure out of life through the development of a positive perspective;
* becoming more engaged in the here and now; and
*  discovering ways to make your life more meaningful through positive self-talk and a warm regard for others.
