"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."
