How Positive Psychology works?

Giving importance to the positive aspects does not mean to ignore the problems of life. Positive Psychology, on the other hand, suggests to look at the strengths and the resources without getting away from the reality of experiences.  Strengths are the best things, our life may offer, to manage the weakness and to repair the worst things in life.  Hence, Positive Psychologists are those who help the people to overcome pathology and to overcome stress.  They see vital balance in the way that people are understood and treated.  

Referring to the example of the story of "Watchology", mentioned by Lauraking (2007), to learn how a watch works, it is better to explore a working watch rather than a teathered and broken watch.  Let psychologists concentrate on what the individuals have instead of what has been missing.
