From the bestselling author of Learned Optimism and Authentic Happiness comes “a relentlessly optimistic guidebook on finding and securing individual happiness” (Kirkus Reviews).

With this unprecedented promise, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman begins Flourish, his initial publication in ten years-and the first to present his active new idea of what well-being really is. Traditionally, the purpose of psychology has gone to alleviate human suffering, but the goal of the Positive about Flourish: A Visionary New Knowledge of Joy and Well-being Psychology movement, which Dr. Seligman provides led for fifteen years, is different-it’s about in fact raising the bar for the human being condition.

Flourish builds in Dr. Seligman’s game-changing work on optimism, inspiration, and character to show ways to get the most out of lifestyle, unveiling an electrifying brand-new theory of why is an excellent life-for people, for communities, as well as for nations. In a remarkable evolution of thought and practice, Flourish refines what Positive Psychology is all about.

While certainly an integral part of well-being, happiness by itself doesn’t give existence meaning. Seligman today asks, What is it that allows you to cultivate your abilities, to construct deep, lasting relationships with others, to experience pleasure, also to lead meaningfully to the world? In short, the facts which allows you to flourish? “Well-being” requires the stage entrance and center, and Happiness (or Positive Emotion) becomes among the five pillars of Positive Mindset, along with Engagement, Interactions, Indicating, and Accomplishment-or PERMA, the long term building blocks to get a life of serious fulfillment.

Thought-provoking in its implications for education, economics, therapy, medicine, and general public policy-the very fabric of society-Flourish tells inspiring stories of Positive Mindset doing his thing, including how the entire U.S. Military is now trained in emotional resilience; how innovative schools can educate for fulfillment in life and not simply for workplace success; and how corporations can improve efficiency at the same time as they increase employee well-being.

With interactive exercises to help readers explore their own attitudes and aims, Flourish is a watershed in the knowledge of happiness and a tool so you can get the most out of life. On the cutting edge of the 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.
