Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
In the last two decades the concept of positive psychology has been elaborated. Positive outlook is the most effective criterion of good physical and mental health and the feelings of wellness. The focus of positive psychology is to develop positive emotions, strengths and good mental health so as to develop the ability to enjoy life and to maintain balance in life. Positive mental health means that the individual may develop ability to enjoy and produce a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Balance, freedom and resilience are the three characteristics of mental health. Hedonism defines well-being as the presence of positive affect and absence of negative affect. Eudemonia suggests that well-being does not consist in maximising positive experience and minimising negative ones but refers to living fully or to allow for the maximum human potential possible. Mental health of the taught is very important for efficient learning and proper development of personality. Proper and conducive environment, affection, pleasant and satisfaction giving experiences, guidance etc. can help to build self confidence and harmonious development of the personality of the taught. For centuries Indian sages and thinkers have laid stress on the development of mental and physical health through yogic practices, asanas and meditation for well-being to attain happiness.
