Suggested questions
Warming up: People use many different ways to stay positive. Please list all the ways you can think of to be positive. Remember to add up anything you stumble upon during the discussion. The team that gets the most items will have a prize.
1. Please make a guess at people's positivity. Who is the most positive person at your table? Who is the one in Yoyo? How about the world? Why do they look positive to you?
2. On the news, most of the information is negative. Does it make you any less positive reading news? What kind of people or things make you less positive, too? How do you get it better?
3. It seems that the English mania in China follows the formula that "If you work harder, then you'll be more successful, and if you're more successful, then you'll be happier.". Are you also following this formula? Why does Shawn Achor's positive psychology want to reverse this formula? Do you agree with him? Would it work for you?
Session Two
Fast, happy, and impulsive

Suggested questions
4. Why do people enjoy speed? What are some of the cases that people enjoy speed? Do people at your table also like them?
5. What things would you speed up in your life? Would you be happier if you do it? Why or why not?
6. What are the things that you don’t want them to be done quickly? Why?
7. What's the difference between impulsiveness and spontaneity? Do you feel good when you get impulsive and do something crazy? Does impulsiveness go with consequences? Please share your stories with us.
