on the positive aspects of life. The reality could not be further
from the truth. Positive psychology investigates and researches
some of the most difficult and painful experiences. Second Wave
Positive Psychology: Embracing the Dark Side of Life is an
innovative and groundbreaking textbook that explores a variety of
topics we consider to be part of the 'dark' side of life while
emphasising their role in our positive functioning and
transformation as human beings. This more nuanced approach to the
notions of 'positive' and 'negative' can be described as the
'second wave' of Positive Psychology. Positive Psychology is one of
the fastest growing and least understood branches of psychology.
Exploring topics at the heart of Positive Psychology, such as
meaning, resilience, human development, mortality, change,
suffering, and spirituality, this book engages with so-called
'negative' matters from a Positive Psychology angle, showing how
the path of personal development can involve experiences which,
while challenging, can lead to growth, insight, healing and
transformation. Containing useful resources, case studies,
practical exercises and chapter summaries, Second Wave Positive
Psychology is an essential guide for undergraduate and postgraduate
students studying positive psychology, as well as clinicians
wanting to know more about the subject. It will also be relevant to
the layperson who is interested in positive psychology.
