Tal Ben-Shahar


A leading practitioner in the field, Tal Ben-Shahar currently teaches the most popular course at Harvard University. An insightful article by Carey Goldberg for The Boston Globe in 2006, noted that 855 students enrolled for Dr Ben-Shahar's positive psychology course.

Influenced by the pioneering work of Dr. Martin Seligman, the world-renowned founder of positive psychology; Tal Ben-Shahar states that his goal in teaching positive psychology "is to create a bridge between the Ivory Tower and Main Street, to bring together the rigor of academia and the accessibility of self-help...If the class has a rigorous academic foundation, which it does, then why not try to help people lead better lives?"

In addition to his work at Harvard, Tal Ben-Shahar consults and lectures around the world to executives in multi-national corporations, the general public, and at-risk populations; addressing such topics as happiness, self-esteem, resilience, goal setting, mindfulness, and leadership.

You can find out more about Tal Ben-Shahar and his positive psychology course by watching the following video.
