This blog-post appeared as an article in the Caine Learning Centre’s Winter 2010 Newsletter under the title “The Strengths-based perspective to Positive Emotions”.  The newsletter is circulated to Associates and Partners of the Centre, a leading brain-based education institution based in California.  I am an Associate of the Centre.

I’m back to my blogs after a January of meetings, discussions and more meetings.  Glad to be back.
