The PERMA Model is a well-being theory. It has been developed by positive psychologist Marin Seligman. “Well-being theory denies that the topic of positive psychology is a real thing: rather the topic is a construct – well-being – which in turn has several measurable elements, each a real thing, each contributing to well-being, but none defining well-being.” (p.20).
The PERMA model identifies five essential elements to well-being. They are:
- Positive Emotions (P).
- Engagement (E).
- Positive Relationships (R).
- Meaning (M).
- Achievement/Accomplishment (A).
By focusing on the five elements on the PERMA model, we can flourish in life, and discover happiness. Subsequently, PERMA gives us the starting point for living a great life!
