Seven evidence-based pathways to sustainable flourishing, from the Bounce Back positive-education programme. Its Purpose pathway is defined as connecting to something greater than yourself — the door this collection walks through.
Each element below links to the passages in this collection that speak to it. The framework is not ours — it belongs to the researchers named above, and is reproduced here so you can use this collection through a model you already know.
Cultivating positive emotions, optimistic thinking, gratitude, and finding joy in daily life.
Nurturing meaningful connections, high-quality relationships, social skills and empathy.
Setting and achieving meaningful goals; experiencing competence and mastery.
Identifying character strengths and natural talents, and applying them daily.
Finding meaning; connecting to something greater than oneself; discovering what matters most.
Experiencing flow; becoming fully absorbed; pursuing interests with passion.
Bouncing back from setbacks; coping strategies; managing stress; adapting to change.
