In this national bestseller, acclaimed author Martin Seligman introduces the revolutionary idea of Positive Psychology. Drawing on groundbreaking scientific research, Dr. Seligman 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. |
