What I would share with my family and friends in my last lecture | Dr. Paul T. P. Wong | 7th MC 2012
Celebration Banquet: 7:00 Pm – 9:00 Pm
Keynote Speaker: Paul T. P. Wong, Ph.D.
At this juncture of my life (75 years), it is appropriate for me to share with my family, friends, and whomever may be listening, the most important lessons I have learned in my long life. I think I belong to the elite club of seniors, who have earned the right to say whatever is on their mind, without concern about criticism. My life story represents the intersections between my Chinese culture, personal struggles, spiritual journey, and four decades of clinical experience and psychological research on the meaning of life. The above experiences combine to qualify me to say something about what makes life worth living from an integrative perspective. I will demonstrate that the good life is a balanced life that incorporates good and evil forces, opportunity and adversity, and happiness and sadness, as I have theorized in my Positive Psychology 2.0 paper (Wong, 2011). I will cite both personal experiences and psychological research to drive home the point that all negative experiences can be transformed into positive ones and authentic happiness depends on the integration of the bright and dark sides of life. Finally, I will introduce three psychological theories: 1) The Deep and Wide Theory of the positive potentials of adversity, 2) The Meaning Management Theory to maintain a positive attitude and high level of well- being in spite of difficult times, and 3) The Meaning Mindset as a basic life orientation that enables us to be resilient and flourish, individually and globally.
Learning Objectives
1. Learn how personal and cultural factors shape the development of positive psychology 2.0.
2. Discover how both experimental findings and life experiences support the Deep and Wide Hypothesis of negativity.
3. Discover why spirituality and meaning are the key ingredients for meaningful living.
4. Examine the research and practical implications of the meaning-mindset.
