The great scientist Albert Einstein is purported to have said that our problems will not be solved by the same level of thinking that created them. Sounds good, but just how are we supposed to find and create this new world he is referring to? Unfortunately Einstein didn’t give us that formula.

Nevertheless, we know it is possible to change how we think and act, both as individuals and as a species. Today we consider some tools to help us do this, stemming from both ancient wisdom and the nascent Positive Psychology.
