A global collective of experienced practitioners bringing this series to life.
The How We Flourish series is conceived, curated, and edited by Emiliya Zhivotovskaya, and brought to life by the CAPP Authors Collective a global group of experienced coaches, educators, clinicians, consultants, and leaders who are graduates of the Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology (CAPP) Program.

About the CAPP Authors Collective:
Each author contributed a chapter grounded in:
Each author brings their voice to a different, research-based topic—together offering a rich, multi-faceted exploration of what it means to flourish.
Together, these authors represent the field at its best—where theory meets practice, rigor meets heart, and science becomes usable wisdom. While each chapter carries the distinct voice and perspective of its author, all are united by a shared framework, language, and commitment to helping people flourish.
This collective approach reflects a core truth of the series: flourishing is not built alone—it is cultivated together.
Each chapter is written by a graduate of the world’s longest-running Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology (CAPP) program.
Together, they represent decades of real-world application across coaching, education, leadership, health, and community work.
