6. How does positive psychology work?
Positive psychology is the study of happiness. 
Psychology has traditionally focused on dysfunction—people with mental illness or other issues—and how to treat it.
Positive psychology, in contrast, is a field that examines how ordinary people can become happier and more fulfilled.
It was born out of the awareness that the focus on the dysfunctional and pathological needed to be complemented by the understanding of the conditions that lead to optimal functioning.

His goal is to make the world happier.
