Do We Need Research to Improve Our Lives?

 KEY POINTS

  • Positive psychology existed long before there was research.
  • A combination of research and self-improvement works well.
  • It's the description that surrounds research and self-help that is overrated.

Research has been around for a while and has helped us in many ways. However, some believe that we don't need research to improve our lives because we can just focus on our personal experiences. However, research is one of the most effective ways to improve our lives in positive psychology. The role of research in this field is to provide us with new evidence about what works and what doesn't work for happiness, life satisfaction, and well-being.
