Years of organizing the Chicago Psychology Group (http://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Psychology/) have left me feeling a little...well, positive. Time for a change of focus.

From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology):

Positive psychology is a recent branch of psychology that "studies the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive." Positive psychologists seek "to find and nurture genius and talent", and "to make normal life more fulfilling," not to cure mental illness.

We leave the mental illness, professional networking, and self-help to other groups. This group studies self actualization and human achievement in a theoretical and applied context. That means you gotta do the readings and come ready to talk. It also means we study--there's not much insight in preaching, debating, or opining (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/opine) without evidence.

If you feel bad see a doctor. If you feel good and want to explore the psychology of doing great, join this meetup.
