ZEST

Hello everyone I hope you liked ;)

Zest is defined in the VIA character strengths manual as mental and physical vigor. It’s about approaching life with vitality, not doing things halfway or half-heartedly, and feeling alive.

There is evidence on the VIA-Youth subscale that zest is correlated with higher levels of neuroticism as well.

Levels of zest have been found to be linked with post-traumatic growth, meaning that levels of zest increased with each traumatic event. This suggest that people may be more resilient than existing theories state, given the correlation between traumatic events and increases in character strengths such as zest.
