ABSTRACT
In a recent post on the popular German positive psychology (PP) blog Mappalicious, Sonja Lyubomirsky was quoted as saying, “I hope for the label ‘positive psychology’ to be retired. We don’t need it anymore” (Rose, 2016). This raises a question in the minds of PP practitioners and enthusiasts: Is the field spearheaded by Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi (2000) on its last legs? Has the domain been over-used for commercial interests, especially for the field of positive coaching?
