Summary/Abstract: The present article explores the potential of positive psychology and spirituality as a basis for transforming contemporary education and personality formation. It analyzes the state of society, emphasizing existential crises, spiritual voids, and increasing isolation in the postmodern world. Through synergy between positive psychology and spiritual pedagogy, global goals for education are proposed, aimed at human flourishing, self-actualization, and the development of virtues. The article advocates for a new educational paradigm that encourages spiritual identity, self-awareness, and prosocial behaviors to counteract challenges such as aggression, depression, and lack of meaning.
