Research by Fredrickson, Gottman, Losada, and others indicates that flourishing individuals, couples, and organizations typically maintain a positive-to-negative interaction ratio between 3:1 and 11:1. High ratios of positive emotions foster resilience, growth, and generativity. These interactions enhance physical, social, and psychological resources, improve relationships, and promote empathy and connections. By encouraging positivity, we can facilitate recovery from stress, boost immunity, and support overall well-being, leading to increased happiness and psychological growth through broader attention and creative problem-solving.
