"This book will help you flourish."
With this unprecedented promise, internationally esteemed
psychologist Martin Seligman begins "Flourish, "his first book in
ten years--and the first to present his dynamic new concept of what
well-being really is. Traditionally, the goal of psychology has
been to relieve human suffering, but the goal of the Positive
Psychology movement, which Dr. Seligman has led for fifteen years,
is different--it's about actually raising the bar for the human
condition.
"Flourish "builds on Dr. Seligman's game-changing work on optimism,
motivation, and character to show how to get the most out of life,
unveiling an electrifying new theory of what makes a good life--for
individuals, for communities, and for nations. In a fascinating
evolution of thought and practice, "Flourish "refines what Positive
Psychology is all about.
While certainly a "part "of well-being, happiness "alone "doesn't
give life meaning. Seligman now asks, What is it that enables you
to cultivate your talents, to build deep, lasting relationships
with others, to feel pleasure, and to contribute meaningfully to
the world? In a word, what is it that allows you to "flourish"?
"Well-being" takes the stage front and center, and Happiness (or
Positive Emotion) becomes one of the five pillars of Positive
Psychology, along with Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and
Accomplishment--or PERMA, the permanent building blocks for a life
of profound fulfillment.
Thought-provoking in its implications for education, economics,
therapy, medicine, and public policy--the very fabric of
society--"Flourish "tells inspiring stories of Positive Psychology
in action, including how the entire U.S. Army is now trained in
emotional resilience; how innovative schools can educate for
fulfillment in life and not just for workplace success; and how
corporations can improve performance at the same time as they raise
employee well-being.
With interactive exercises to help readers explore their own
attitudes and aims, "Flourish "is a watershed in the understanding
of happiness as well as a tool for getting the most out of life. On
the cutting edge of a science that has changed millions of lives,
Dr. Seligman now creates the ultimate extension and capstone of his
bestselling classics, "Authentic Happiness "and "Learned Optimism."
