شکوفایی: روان‌شناسی مثبت و زندگی خوب زیسته‌شده

Psychology has made great strides in understanding mental illness, but how much has it learned about mental health? When people want to reflect upon the good life and how to live it, they turn to philosophers and novelists, not psychologists. The emerging field of positive psychology aims to redress this imbalance. In Flourishing, distinguished scholars apply scientific analyses to study the good life, expanding the scope of social and psychological research to include happiness, well-being, courage, citizenship, play, and the satisfactions of healthy work and healthy relationships. Their findings reveal that a sense of meaning and a feeling of richness emerge in life as people immerse themselves in activities, relationships, and the pursuit of intrinsically satisfying goals like overcoming adversity or serving one's community through volunteering. This provocative book will further define this evolving field. Foreword : The Past And Future Of Positive Psychology / Martin E.p.

Edited By Corey L.m. Keyes And Jonathan Haidt. Includes Bibliographical References And Indexes. This newest positive psychology handbook is an edited volume, with contributing authors including Czikszentmihalyi, Emmons, and more. When Dr. Haidt teaches a senior-level college course on flourishing, he assigns this text as well as Martin Seligman's (2002) Authentic happiness, Ben Franklin's autobiography, Buddha's Dhammapada, Burns' (1999) Feeling good: The new mood therapy, and finally his own (2006) The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding modern truth in ancient wisdom. Lay readers interested in the topic but daunted by the jargon of modern experimental psychology will be happy with Authentic Happiness or The Happiness Hypothesis -- both written by major researchers but intended-for-the-public. Annotation Toward redirecting mainstream psychology's focus from the disease model to the higher rungs of Maslow's hierarchy of needs that have long informed humanistic psychology, the contributors to these 13 chapters participated in the first Summit of Positive Psychology held in 1999. Keyes (sociology, Emory U.) and Haidt (social psychology, U. of Virginia) introduce the rationale for studying fulfillment, morality, and other factors that make life worthwhile. Keyes and foreword writer Martin Seligman, a former APA president, were summit co-chairs.
