ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the ways applied positive psychology might develop in response to an ever changing world. It also explores how broadening the boundaries of current approaches to applying positive psychology might support the ongoing development of an inclusive and pluralistic applied positive psychology that can contribute to shaping a better world for all. The kind of developments open up exciting new possibilities, showing how applied positive psychology can continue the movement toward real-world relevance and practice. The emergence of positive psychology as a way of addressing the negative bias of conventional psychology has shone a welcome spotlight on a rich and varied field of scholarship and practice over the past two decades; and there is every reason to imagine that positive psychology will continue to develop. The noble pursuit of empirically validated generalisable sources of happiness has, over the past 16 years, produced a rich vein of positive psychology literature that now fills libraries, bookshelves, databases, and journals.
