Abstract

This article presents five elements of Positive Psychology, named by the acronym PERMA, which appeared in academic research by Martin Seligman at the end of the 20th century, together with other correlated techniques such as Flow, object of study by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and the Inner Game, observed by Timothy Gallwey, who identified that the greatest adversary of the human being is in everyone's mind. Used as tools in a Life Coaching process, these pillars can contribute to even more sustainable results. Thus, in addition to maximizing potentials that lead to the achievement of a desired goal, a person undergoing a Life Coaching process can access, within his innate learning capacity, full happiness and connect to him in an organic and natural way.
