Giving Positive Mindsets Away:
Meaningful Living Meetups
Paul P. Capital t. Wong, Ph.D., is really a psychology professor, scientific
psychologist, author, speaker, and the founder of the actual Meaning-
Centered Counselling Institute as well as the International Network on
Personal Meaning.He is the conference seat for the 7th Biennial Meaning
Conference. Full Bio.

Paul’s articles are here.


Some thing unusual and significant is happening in Toronto, quietly and
distinct.

Every other Sunday morning, people from all avenues of life gather at my
house for our regular Significant Living Meetup. On average, greater than
30 people cram into my family room. This picture was taken last year, once
the group was smaller.
If you are looking for quality information regarding positive psychology degree,
follow the link I have provided, it will be beneficial for you.

A Meetup Group
Who participates?

Participants come from all ethnic backgrounds and different walks of life:
graduate students, retirees, mental medical researchers, entrepreneurs,
accountants, technicians, and stay-at-home moms (who appreciate the
camp instructors provided). Interestingly, lots of the participants have actual
or mental health problems.

One case in point is definitely an elderly lady who has only 30% of the girl
lung capacity. Even with the help of a portable oxygen fish tank, she still
battles with every inhale and has difficulty completing a sentence without
having pausing. She retains coming because the lady says that learning
about this is of life enables her to go on regardless of pain.

Another instance is a young lady experiencing depression and suicidal
tendencies. Group help and the content of each lesson give her new
grounds for hope.

About 50 % of the members come from other countries, such as China,
Mexico, Romania, Poland, and Russia. Regardless of their diverse
ethnic/cultural backdrops, these immigrants deal with the same problemw
with vocabulary barriers and lack of employment opportunities.

We also have senior citizens who are seeking new that means for their
post-employment days. They're excited about making brand new
connections.

In somewhat over a year, our membership has grown to over 180. What
accounts for this kind of growth? Judging in the comments members are
making, people come simply because topics on important living resonate
using them and because they enjoy discovering these topics with other
people. Here are a few comments:

“It’s so wonderful to meet folks from all walk associated with life who reveal
similar values. Subsequent our heart and values is a thin and lonely path at
times. I also enjoy the warm and everyday atmosphere of the meetings.”
“It feels like heaven on earth to be able to celebrate life together and assist
each other to grow.”

“How to reside a good life? An age old question very often brings about
thought provoking dialogues. A great cross-section of people coming from
different walks of life will make this journey a lot more interesting.”

What happens inside a meeting?

Paul Wong lecturing

Paul Wong lecturing
Importantly, participants learn about the latest research findings relevant to
meaningful living. For each topic, I give a mini-lecture that covers the actual
empirical and theoretical footings. These are largely according to my two
edited volumes, The Human Pursuit of Meaning. Some of these mini-
lectures is found on my YouTube funnel, Personal Meaning.

Here are some of the topics we all cover:

Know who you are: Accept your true self.

Know what really matters: Identify your core values.

Understand the nature with the good life: Pick the path of that means and
virtue.

Affirm the particular intrinsic value of existence: Learn from Viktor Frankl.

Explore the human quest for meaning: Learn how to ask “why” questions.

Discover the sources of meaning and happiness: Learn how to live
balanced life.

Discover the meaning associated with meaning: Learn the Genuine model.
PURE represents Purpose, Understanding, Accountable Action, Enjoy
aimportant life/Evaluate life anew. (To find out more, here’s a short
discussion with the PURE model).
Doctor.Lilian Wong
Five steps to build up your own resilience: Practice the ABCDE model.
(Nick Hall provided an example of the actual ABCDE model in his article, Is
Feeling Better as Easy as ABCDE?.)

What is individual is also universal: Exercise double vision.

Find joy in difficult times: Comprehend the sources of true joy.

Explore how goodas well as evil interact: Educate yourself on the dual
system design.

Other people matter: View the basis for good interactions.


We conclude with pathways to well-being and flourishing as we place it all
together.

Presentation materials and summaries of the initial 5 topics are available
here. More will be provided as they are all set.

pathways

Pathways
For an example of the test and theoretical underpinnings, when we discuss
“How do I find happiness in difficult times?” all of us refer to Seligman’s
happiness models in Authentic Pleasure and Flourish, as well as Ed
Diener’s research on subjective well-being and countrywide well-being. We
also bring in the particular humanistic/existential perspectives of Abraham
Maslow and also Viktor Frankl.

Other main attractions of our Meetup are the team discussion led by my
wife, Dr. Lilian Wong, and also the informal interactions around
refreshments. The main take-home session is that people not just need
scientific here is how to live aimportant and happy lifestyle but also need
the support of others sharing the same desire to expand and flourish.

In sum, our Meaningful ResidingMeetup is a grassroots method of
providing positive psychology aside. Participants learn the human capacity
for meaning-seeking and also meaning-making not only repairs what is
broken, but also gives pathways to well-being as well as flourishing.

Author’s note: I will outline my eyesight for transforming the world through
meaningful residing at the concluding Get together Banquet of our Meaning
Conference, held This summer 26-29 in Toronto.

Several individuals from other cities possess expressed interest in starting
Meaningful Living Organizations. I recommend that group leaders have a
sound grounding in the empirical as well as theoretical foundations of
important living. In our latest newsletter, I defined a set of sessions on the
upcoming Biennial Meaning Meeting that can help someone acquire the
knowledge needed to aid Meaningful Living teams. Early registration for
your conference ends June 30. Register here.

We are working on a digital version of Important Living meetups.

Anyone interested in the actual conference or Meetuporganizations can
contact me: Medical professional. Paul P. Big t. Wong.
