Finding Your Path Books - Amba Brown

I'm a Youth Happiness Coach & Positive Psychology author, with a degree majoring in psychology and sociology, with a Psychological Science Honours specializing in Positive Psychology. My work has been featured internationally, including Readers Digest, ABC National Radio, The Huff Post, TEDx, The Positive Psychology Blog, and SimpleK-12. I'm also a member of The International Positive Psychology Association and am passionate about alleviating the anxieties of youth. My goal is to make these resources fun & share these tools as far and wide as possible.

My passion is Positive Psychology. While traditional psychology focuses on our weaknesses, positive psychology focuses on our strengths, cultivating our best selves so we can lead meaningful and fulfilling lives. This is the science of happiness.

" ~ Maura Sweeney - Ambassador of Happiness “I think it's something that everyone in their twenties, whether you're just out of school or a few years, should read. It's helpful beyond words and I'm so thankful I stumbled upon it.” ~ Briana, American Blogger of Royallypink.com "A 'how to' and 'what to' guide for school leavers. It is full of aphorisms that build up and provide confidence to the young adults who might be trying to find a path in this world." ~ Manly Daily - Australian Newspaper "Amba Brown has written a truly excellent, wholly inspirational guide to happiness in a non-judgmental voice young people cannot help but relate to.

Like everyone else, I've lived through and observed the various pressures and stresses of the phases moving into adulthood. As I progressed through this uncertain and anxious new periods, I always felt that there should be resources I could refer to and consult in making informed decisions for myself. My five younger siblings whose similar concerns over the years have proven to me that the message of these books is still relevant and important. Writing these positive transition books is my personal contribution to the field of positive psychology.
