ABSTRACT
The new field of positive psychology is defined as the scientific study of what makes life most worth living, so in one sense, positive psychology is the study of ultimate meaning (Peterson, 2006). Central figures in the psychological study of meaning—like Viktor Frankl (1959), Carl Rogers (1961), Abraham Maslow (1970), and Rollo May (1953)—are among the individuals upon whose shoulders contemporary positive psychologists stand.
