12: Dr. Orin Davis: The First-Ever Ph.D. in Positive Psychology
“As soon as I figured out what human potential was— and the idea that if we can each maximize our human potential, we’re able to make a unique contribution to the world—. I wanted to find out, what's the algorithm for that? How do we each do that, or what's the mechanism behind it?” – Dr. Orin Davis earned the first doctorate in positive psychology, is the principal consultant of the Quality of Life Laboratory, and is a research scientist focused on experiencing flow, creativity and self-actualization.
