The Positivity Psychologist

Paul H. Jenkins, PhD, is a Positivity Psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Brigham Young University (1995). He has been licensed in Utah since 1996 and has more than 30 years in clinical practice.

Dr. Paul Jenkins spent more than three decades in clinical practice before turning his full attention to one question: how do ordinary people build an extraordinarily positive mind on purpose?

Pathological Positivity is where Dr. Paul answers it. The show began in 2007 as Live On Purpose Radio and took its new name in October 2026. It has the same host, the same feed, and all 700-plus episodes. Each week he shares one short, practical idea on positivity, parenting, relationships, or leadership. He also talks with guests who put these ideas to work.

Beyond the show, Paul speaks, writes, and teaches the psychology of positivity through Positives, his daily practice membership, and works with families and leaders as a coach.
