Description
Flourish - A new understanding of Life's Greatest Goals - and what it takes to reach them. In this groundbreaking book, one of the world's foremost academic psychologists and founder of the Positive Psychology movement offers a new theory on what makes people flourish and how to truly get the most out of life.
Eight years have passed since the publication of Dr Seligman's internationally bestselling Authentic Happiness. As a highly esteemed psychologist, Dr Seligman has been on the cutting edge of psychological research for over two decades, pioneering a science that improves people's lives. And now, with his most life-changing book yet, Flourish, he offers a new theory of individual satisfaction and global purpose.
In a fascinating evolution of thought, Flourish refines what Positive Psychology is all about and offers inspiring stories of Positive Psychology in action. The book highlights innovative schools that add resilience to their curricula, with a case study of Geelong Grammar in particular, presents a new theory of success and intelligence, and provides evidence on how positive physical health can turn medicine on its head.
Building on his game-changing work on optimism, Dr Seligman continues to explore the depths of human well-being in Flourish, creating a comprehensive guide to achieving a meaningful, happy, and healthy life.
