Death is a very interesting topic, especially when looking at it through a positive psychology lens.
In 2024, there were a number of positive psychology researchers that passed away, including Felicia Huppert, Paul Wong, and Phil Zimbardo, and in this episode, I reflect on their lives, contributions and their deaths. I reflect on the impact of grief and loss, and how this can come in different ways at different times. Positive psychology looks at death acceptance, approach acceptance, escape acceptance.
Acceptance of death is very important, how do we engage with death in a way that gives us a sense of meaning, purpose and legacy?
