I’m pleased to introduce Character Strengths — a blog about positive psychology and figuring out how to best use your inherent character strengths and the positives of your personality. It will highlight character strengths in action in real life, and provide tips, inspiration and ideas on how you can improve upon your own character strengths.

Dr. Ryan M. Niemiec is an author, licensed psychologist, and educator. He is Education Director of the VIA Institute on Character, a nonprofit organization where he leads workshops around the world on the science and practice of character strengths. You can learn more about Dr. Ryan here.

Please give Ryan a warm Psych Central welcome over on our new blog, Character Strengths, now.
