This article reviews literature on positive thinking and its
effect on the appraisal of stress, coping and health outcomes. Positive
psychology is a new dimension that focuses on positive thinking,
positive emotions and positive behavioral qualities that enhance human
potential in various domains such as work, coping with stress and
health. By thinking positively, we perceive the stress as less
threatening, are able to cope with it effectively. Fredrickson’s broaden
and build theory of positive emotions was the theoretical framework for
this article. Papers studying positive thinking, positive emotions,
optimism, hope and wellbeing were included in the review. The
implications for counselors, educationists and the community at large
have also been discussed.
