With a final look at the future of Positive Psychology, and its potential to inform social change and how useful this knowledge can be when considering the well-being of entire societies, this text is an enlightening read and invaluable resources for students.

Strongly guided by empirical work this text encourages the reader to think critically and go beyond the facts.

Key features:

  • Inclusion and a review of up-to-date research.

Industry Reviews
The book starts with consideration of what Positive Psychology actually means. This is followed by chapters addressing happiness, emotions, environments and the future - for us as psychologists and the science. I particularly liked the highlighting of areas of deficiency in research so far, signposting areas where today's students can innovate and explore.

It would seem the time is right for a more current teaching text and I found this book to be insightful and inspiring.
