The Power of Positive Psychology with Dan Tomasulo
Mike Wood chats with Dan Tomasulo, who will be one of the presenters at WorkHuman Live 2020. Dan is a core faculty member at Teachers College Columbia University in the Spirituality Mind Body Institute (SMBI). He teaches Positive Psychology, as well as the Optimal Wellbeing program. Mike and Dan talk about positive psychology and the power of gratitude and hope.
WorkHuman Live 2020Dan will share practical strategies for intentional self-care in his keynote at WorkHuman Live 2020. He says that deadlines and busy schedules make us forget to take care of ourselves. However, it’s intentional self-care that will boost our productivity. We need to recharge to work at our very best.
The Power of GratitudeMike asks Dan what are some simple things we can do to take care of ourselves. Dan responds that one simple practice that has powerful effects, is to do a 90-second gratitude review of the day before, every morning. Gratitude is wired into many performance elements, into our sense of self, into our feelings of joy and connectedness and relationship. Doing a gratitude review has the power to change your perspective of the day past, even though we have a natural negativity bias.
American Snake PitDan relates how he helped deinstitutionalize Willowbrook, the worst asylum in American history. His experimental group home, which he says was designed to fail, helped his patients thrive. What he found was that once people are given the right opportunity, they flourish. Mike agrees that people need purpose in their work. Productivity increases when workers feel a sense of positivity, connection and purpose.
Positive PsychologyDan shares three key resources for listeners to learn more about positive psychology.
The Power of HopeMike asks about Dan’s Ask a Therapist section at PsychCentral.com. Dan says that they receive about 2500 questions a month, and what he sees most often is that people are looking for a sense of hope. He says that a large part of his responses are giving people something tangible to work on that will change their expectations of the future, which makes them more positive and energetic in their day to day functioning.
