AUTHENTIC HAPPINESS
Using the New Positive Psychology to Realize Potential for Lasting Fulfillment
Martin E. P. Seligman
The Free Press, 2004
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The reader will learn how to apply Seligman’s evidence which posits that by identifying the best in ourselves we can change the world around us and reach new and sustainable levels of authentic contentment, gratification, and meaning.
Positive psychology focuses on strengths rather than weaknesses; insisting that happiness is not the result of good genes or luck. Seligman finds that by drawing on traits they already possess, such as kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity, people can develop buffers against misfortune and negative emotion and move their lives to a more positive plane.
Martin E. P. Seligman is the Fox Leadership Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, the Director of the Positive Psychology Network, and the former president of the American Psychological Association. He has written more than twenty books, including Learned Optimism (also available for CE credits, see http://ishkbooks.com/cehome/LEOPC.html) and The Optimistic Child.
