 Namaste. Thanks for interest in this course, Yog and positive psychology for managing career and life. Flourishing is considered to be a gold standard of well-being. Flourishing meaning positive relationship, positive emotion, sense of achievement, meaning in purpose in life. 3 years ago in IIT Bombay with support of ICSSR, we undertook a study to look at the state of well-being of Indian youth. What we found was that one-third of Indian youth are actually flourishing, but more than half of them are moderately flourishing and about 12 to 13 percent are languishing. This is certainly not a matter of pride and a matter of great satisfaction for any society, but good news is that we can do something about it. There are fields of science which provide concepts, ideas, interventions and methods for all of us to remain in the flourishing zone or if we are in the moderately flourishing zone or languishing zone, it can help us to move towards flourishing. The positive psychology is that field which examines human potential, human strength and positive experiences of life. Yoga is also aimed at realizing the truest human potential. Positive psychology and yoga have not only complementary relationship, they have synergistic relationship. Positive psychology gives interventions at the level of mind and emotions. Yoga gives interventions at pranic level, at physical level which has impact on emotional and intellectual levels. In fact, UNO declaration about 21st June being an international yoga day recognizes that yoga is that approach and provides those methods which are not only useful for achieving well-being at physical level. This also strengthens and increases well-being at emotional and intellectual level. Insights of yoga are not only relevant for the individual life, they are also relevant for the collective forms of life like family, governance and society. Naturally, this combination can give great insights for managing our career and making it successful and also making our life more joyful and more effective. This course is not only useful for the young students, this is also useful for the counselors, managers, teachers and anyone who is interested in realizing the two human potential and also wish to help people around them to realize that. This course is distinct because of its research focused approach. Many of the studies which are being quoted which becomes the bedrock of this course were conducted in IIT Bombay itself. In this course, we are going to synthesize the insights from the Indian traditional wisdom from the sources like Yoga Sutra, Bhavad Gita, Sankhya Karika and we are going to integrate those with the modern fields of inquiry and allied fields related to positive psychology, neurophysiology and so on and so forth. So, welcome to this course and looking forward working with you together on this journey.
