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

內容簡介

內容簡介 成就枝繁葉茂的幸福人生傳統上，心理學的目的旨在減輕痛苦，但作者馬丁賽利格曼(Martin Seligman)所提倡的正向心理學運動將心理學帶入另一個更高的層次。被認為是現代正向心理學運動之父的他透過多年研究，證明如何藉由樂觀、動機和個性成就最大的自我實現。什麼要素是支持培養才能、與他人發展深刻長久關係以及對世界有所貢獻的關鍵? 茁壯發展的動力源自何處?正向心理學以「幸福」作為主軸，以正向情緒、全心投入、人際關係、意義和成就作為成就美滿人生的五大支柱。在書中，賽利格曼也列舉用於美國陸軍、學校、企業等多個應用正向心理學的案例，幫助讀者了解快樂的意義以及成就人生的方法。With this unprecedented promise, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman begins Flourish, his first book in ten years—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 different—it’s about actually raising the bar for the human condition. Flourish builds on Dr. Seligman’s 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 life—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 doesn’t 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? “Well-being” takes the stage front and center, and Happiness (or Positive Emotion) becomes one of the five pillars of Positive Psychology, along with Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment—or PERMA, the permanent building blocks for a life of profound fulfillment. Thought-provoking in its implications for education, economics, therapy, medicine, and public policy—the very fabric of society—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.
