Summary:
ARE YOU HOLDING YOURSELF BACK?
Without understanding it, the majority of us impose limits on our achievement and our pleasure by approaching life’s problems and challenges with unneeded pessimism. Now, Dr. Martin Seligman, a pioneer in cognitive mindset and motivational analysis, tells you how to identify your personal self-defeating thought patterns — and how to harness the capabilities of your conscious brain to break those patterns.
The Research of Personal Control
Based on many years of rigorous research, about Learned Optimism Discovered Optimism examines the importance of ‘explanatory style’ — the way in which we explain our problems and setbacks to ourselves — and will be offering some exercises that may help you target unhealthy practices of pessimistic considering and bring them under your control. More powerful and pragmatic than a simple system of positive thinking, Dr. Seligman’s concepts of reasoned, versatile optimism will help you:
* Attain maximum personal achievement
* Avoid feelings of helplessness and major depression
* Develop a hopeful, healthy outlook
‘A Marvelous Achievement!
Learned Optimism blends hard-edged research with practical guidance to give us an understanding of how exactly we hold ourselves back again and how exactly we can transform for the better.’
— Dr. Wayne Dyer
