Summary:
From the bestselling writer of Learned Optimism and Authentic Happiness comes “a relentlessly optimistic guidebook on finding and securing individual happiness” (Kirkus Reviews).
With this unprecedented guarantee, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman begins Flourish, his initial publication in ten years-and the first to present his dynamic new concept of what well-being really is. Traditionally, the purpose of psychology has gone to relieve human suffering, but the goal from the Positive about Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Joy and Well-being Psychology movement, which Dr. Seligman offers led for fifteen years, is certainly different-it’s about in fact raising the bar for the individual condition.
Flourish builds about Dr. Seligman’s game-changing work on optimism, motivation, and character showing ways to get one of the most out of existence, unveiling an electrifying brand-new theory of what makes an excellent life-for individuals, for communities, as well as for nations. In a fascinating evolution of believed and practice, Flourish refines what Positive Psychology is focused on.
While certainly a part of well-being, happiness alone doesn’t give existence meaning. Seligman today asks, What is it that allows you to cultivate your skills, to create deep, lasting relationships with others, to experience pleasure, also to lead meaningfully towards the world? In a word, what is it which allows you to flourish? “Well-being” will take the stage entrance and middle, and Pleasure (or Positive Feeling) becomes one of the five pillars of Positive Psychology, along with Engagement, Associations, Signifying, and Accomplishment-or PERMA, the long lasting building blocks for a life of serious fulfillment.
Thought-provoking in its implications for education, economics, therapy, medicine, and open public policy-the very fabric of society-Flourish tells inspiring stories of Positive Mindset in action, including how the whole U.S. Military is now been trained in emotional resilience; how innovative colleges can educate for fulfillment in life and not just for workplace achievement; and how companies can improve performance at exactly the same time as they increase employee well-being.
With interactive exercises to greatly help readers explore their own attitudes and aims, Flourish is a watershed in the understanding of happiness and a tool for getting probably the most out of life. Around the cutting edge of a science which has changed an incredible number of lives, Dr. Seligman today creates the ultimate expansion and capstone of his bestselling classics, Authentic Joy and Learned Optimism.
