This issue features eight submitted articles on topics ranging from interventions such as Religious CBT, Meditation and Mindfulness, and Social-Education to meaning and positive psychology. Note: Paul T. P. Wong’s article “Existential Positive Psychology” was originally scheduled to be published in the second edition of Encyclopedia of Positive Psychology; unfortunately, the publisher decided not to go forward with the second edition. Therefore, this paper is published here.

Thursday with Dr. Paul T. P. Wong is the first book dedicated to Dr. Paul T. P. Wong (1937-2024), pioneer of existential positive psychology and Founder of INPM.
