Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-Being

âÈêThis book will help you flourish.âÈë With this unprecedented promise, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman begins Flourish, his first book in ten yearsâÈ'and the first to present his dynamic new concept of what well-being really is. Traditionally, the goal of psychology has been to relieve human suffering, but the goal of the Positive Psychology movement, which Dr. Seligman has led for fifteen years, is differentâÈ'itâÈçs about actually raising the bar for the human condition. Flourish builds on Dr. SeligmanâÈçs game-changing work on optimism, motivation, and character to show how to get the most out of life, unveiling an electrifying new theory of what makes a good lifeâÈ'for individuals, for communities, and for nations. In a fascinating evolution of thought and practice, Flourish refines what Positive Psychology is all about. While certainly a part of well-being, happiness alone doesnâÈçt give life meaning. Seligman now asks, What is it that enables you to cultivate your talents, to build deep, lasting relationships with others, to feel pleasure, and to contribute meaningfully to the world? In a word, what is it that allows you to flourish ? âÈêWell-beingâÈë takes the stage front and center, and Happiness (or P ositive Emotion) becomes one of the five pillars of Positive Psychology, along with E ngagement, R elationships, M eaning, and A ccomplishmentâÈ'or PERMA , the permanent building blocks for a life of profound fulfillment. Thought-provoking in its implications for education, economics, therapy, medicine, and public policyâÈ'the very fabric of societyâÈ' Flourish tells inspiring stories of Positive Psychology in action, including how the entire U.S. Army is now trained in emotional resilience; how innovative schools can educate for fulfillment in life and not just for workplace success; and how corporations can improve performance at the same time as they raise employee well-being. With interactive exercises to help readers explore their own attitudes and aims, Flourish is a watershed in the understanding of happiness as well as a tool for getting the most out of life. On the cutting edge of a 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.
