Karen Reivich, Ph.D
- Karen Reivich, Ph.D., is co-director of the Penn Resiliency Project at the Positive Psychology Center and a research associate in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Karen is also an instructor in the Masters of Applied Positive Psychology program in which she teaches a course on Positive Psychology and Coaching, where I was fortunate enough to have her as a memorable, brilliant teacher, who always found ways to inject humor into our subject. She is a leader in the field of depression prevention, resilience, positive psychology interventions and school-based intervention research. Karen also has a coaching practice and provides consultation to organizations around the themes of resilience, optimism, and strength development. Her book, “The Resilience Factor,” is must-reading for anyone who is interested in Positive Psychology, and it was co-authored with Dr. Andrew Shatte.
In this interview, Karen and I discuss why resilience is so important in a flourishing,positive life, how to develop it, and what new research is coming in the field of resilience and optimism.
Towards the end of the interview, Karen mentions her newest website: www.fishfulthinking.com, which she created in partnership with Pepperidge Farm to help develop resilient, optimistic children.
