“The distinction between relieving misery and building happiness is extremely important.”
- Dr Martin Seligman, founder of Positive Psychology.
These words from Dr Martin Seligman illustrate the ethos of PEPTALK Magazine so well. This magazine is not intended to treat mental illness. It is intended to build mental wellness.
There is a wonderful side effect of building mental wellness. Positive psychology research tells us that building wellness alleviates illness. Confucius said: Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. PEPTALK Magazine is a resource to simplify mental health by sharing practical, science-based tools and strategies that you can apply in your life to build mental wellness every day, and
become an empowered human who knows how to help yourself.
