This book provides an accessible and balanced introduction to
positive psychology scholarship and its applications, incorporating
an overview of the development of positive psychology. Positive
Psychology: The Basics delineates positive psychology's journey as
a discipline, takes stock of its achievements and provides an
updated overview of its core topics, exploring the theory, research
and interventions in each. Launched as a rebellious discipline just
over two decades ago, positive psychology challenged the emphasis
of applied psychology on disease and dysfunction and offered a new,
more balanced perspective on human life. From its foundations in
the late 20th century to recent "second-wave" theories around the
importance of recognizing negative emotions, this compact overview
covers the key ideas and principles, from research around emotional
wellbeing, optimism and change, to posttraumatic growth and
positive relationships. The first jargon-free introduction to the
subject, Hart introduces the reader to a range of issues, including
self-regulation and flow, character strengths and virtues and
positive relationships, concluding with a chapter on how
interventions can affect happiness and wellbeing. Positive
Psychology: The Basics is an essential resource for students,
practitioners, academics and anyone who is interested in
understanding the essence of a life well lived.
