summaryOptimizing human performance requires an integrative approach that encompasses mental, physical, social, and spiritual domains. The Human Performance Optimization (HPO) and Total Force Fitness (TFF) frameworks represent emerging paradigms in positive psychology that aim to cultivate performance holistically. This paper introduces the multidimensional Fitness2Drive model and presents original research examining spiritual fitness as a protective factor against risky driving behaviors. The discussion extends to future research directions, including an investigation of how psychological resistance resources—specifically spiritual fitness and positive mental health—mediate the relationship between personality traits and depressive symptoms. While additional empirical validation is needed, the HPO and TFF models offer promising approaches to human optimization grounded in positive psychology principles. As these frameworks are validated across diverse domains and longitudinal studies, they may provide researchers and practitioners with robust tools for understanding and enhancing human potential. The comprehensive nature of HPO may advance the field by illuminating the complex interplay of factors that contribute to human effectiveness and well- being.
