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. -- Stuart Hillston
