At the turn of the century, a Positive Psychology (PP) movement was formalized, which, since it was also Psychology and which had followed it since the times of William James, had not been taken on as broadly as it did now. In fact, psychology, responding to the needs of World War II to the times of crisis that preceded it and to the later times of social evolution, had given more attention to the negative aspects of life, to the failures that people had, to their defects. It is from the revolutionary years of the 60s of the last century that new ways of thinking about psychology were structured, namely, to start looking at positive aspects, such as health promotion or well-being. This movement of Positive Psychology had a great impact and gave rise to strong discussions among psychologists. These discussions enriched and clarified the PP, making it more comprehensive. Today, there is no area of psychology that does not touch PP in any way. It is this story that we propose to address here.
