In this national bestseller -- Martin Seligman's most
stimulating, persuasive book to date -- the acclaimed
author of Learned Optimism introduces yet another
revolutionary idea. Drawing on groundbreaking scientific
research, Seligman shows how Positive Psychology is
shifting the profession's paradigm away from its narrow-
minded focus on pathology, victimology, and mental illness
to positive emotion and mental health. Happiness, studies
show, is not the result of good genes or luck. It can be
cultivated by identifying and nurturing traits that we
already possess -- including kindness, originality, humor,
optimism, and generosity. Seligman provides the tools you need in order to ascertain
your most positive traits or strengths. Then he explains
how, by frequently calling upon these "signature strengths"
in all the crucial realms of life -- health, relationships,
career -- you will not only develop natural buffers against
misfortune and negative emotion, but also achieve new and
sustainable levels of authentic contentment, gratification,
and meaning.
