- Authentic Happiness
Martin Seligman, the bestselling author of Learned Optimism, introduces the revolutionary, scientifically based idea of "Positive Psychology." Positive Psychology focuses on strengths rather than weaknesses, asserting that happiness is not the result of good genes or luck. Seligman teaches that happiness can be cultivated by identifying and using many of the strengths and traits that you already possess--including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. By frequently calling upon your "signature strengths" in all the crucial realms of life, you will not only develop natural buffers against misfortune and the experience of negative emotion, you will move your life up to a new, more positive plane. An online Signature Strengths Survey is provided along with a variety of brief tests that can be used to measure how much positive emotion you experience, in order to help determine what your highest strengths are.
