Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD
- Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD is a professor in social psychology and Positive Psychology at the University of California, Riverside. Sonja won the Templeton Prize in 2002, is an associate editor of the Journal of Positive Psychology, and is the co-recipient of a five-year, $1 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to investigate ways of permanently increasing well-being levels in people. In January 2008, she will have a book published by Penguin on how to change happiness levels.
In this interview, Sonja and I discuss her research on Positive Interventions such as “Best Possible Self” and random acts of kindness, as well as her work on rumination and dysphoria, and how to change your life in lasting ways for greater happiness. Sonja’s enthusiasm for her work and her forthcoming book are infectious, and you’ll learn a lot about why this field is drawing brilliant minds like hers for such groundbreaking scientific work.
