In this volume of the Middle East Journal of Positive Psychology, we explore the views, hopes, and current research agendas of those working to advance knowledge in the field of positive psychology within the MENA region, or who research aspects of culture and religion relevant to it. We uncover their thoughts on the current status of knowledge as well as what opportunities and pitfalls exist. Here, we discuss with Dr. Habib Tiliouine of the University of Oran, Algeria, his thoughts on the current state of wellbeing in the Middle East and North African region, his own research results and future projects.References
