Positive emotions broaden cognitive repertoire and build durable personal resources.
Why This Is an Axiom
Fredrickson's broaden-and-build theory (2001). This is an empirical claim about the mechanism by which certain activities generate energy — not just that they do, but how. It explains why energy-generating activities expand rather than deplete capacity. Foundational and not derivable from the flow research alone.
