Welcome to The Grit School

What Is Positive Psychology?

Positive psychology is the scientific study of human strengths, well-being, and optimal functioning. Unlike traditional psychology, which often focuses on illness and dysfunction, positive psychology asks: What helps individuals and teams thrive—even under pressure?

At its core, it focuses on evidence-based practices that enhance:

• Emotional intelligence

• Resilience and grit

• Growth mindset

• Engagement and purpose

• Meaningful relationships

• Well-being and fulfillment

These are not feel-good ideas—they are measurable, trainable capacities that directly impact productivity, innovation, and team culture.

Why Corporates Need Positive Psychology Now More Than Ever

In today’s volatile, high-pressure environments, technical skill alone isn’t enough. Companies are realizing that success depends on how employees think, feel, and relate.

Here’s what we’re seeing in corporate India (and globally):

• High levels of burnout and emotional disengagement, especially in young professionals

• Poor communication and empathy causing conflicts and team breakdowns

• Lack of resilience and mental flexibility amid rapid change

• Leadership styles that don’t resonate with the next generation of employees

Traditional training focuses on “what” to do. Positive psychology teaches how to be—resilient, self-aware, adaptive, purpose-driven.

Frameworks We Use

At The Grit School, our programmes are rooted in globally respected models such as:

• PERMA Model (Martin Seligman): Positivity, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement

• Grit Theory (Angela Duckworth): Passion and perseverance over the long term

These are not abstract ideas—they are practical blueprints for thriving individuals and organizations.
