Positive psychologists focus on ways that we can advance the lives
of individuals and communities by studying the factors that
increase positive outcomes such as life satisfaction and happiness.
Evolutionary psychologists use the principles of evolution, based
on Darwin's understanding of life, to help shed light on any and
all kinds of psychological phenomena. This book brings together
both fields to explore positive evolutionary psychology: the use of
evolutionary psychology principles to help people and communities
experience more positive and fulfilling lives. Across eleven
chapters, this book describes the basic ideas of both evolutionary
and positive psychology, elaborates on the integration of these two
fields as a way to help advance the human condition, discusses
several domains of human functioning from the perspective of
positive evolutionary psychology, and finally, looks with an eye
toward the future of work in this emerging and dynamic field. Over
the past few decades, evolutionary psychologists have begun to
crack the code on such phenomena as happiness, gratitude,
resilience, community, and love. This book describes these facets
of the human experience in terms of their evolutionary origins and
proposes how we might guide people to optimally experience such
positive phenomena in their everyday lives.
