Better than happiness, positivity will boost your life, not just your smile
Drawing on more than twenty years of scientific research into positive emotions, the author shows us that attaining positivity is not about striving to be an annoyingly and unnaturally cheerful 'Pollyanna'. It is about putting into practice the '3-to-1 ratio' of positive to negative emotions.
Klappentext:
One of the leading members of the positive psychology movement draws on cutting-edge research and lab-tested tools to explain:
- Why positivity is more important than happiness
- How it relieves depression, broadens minds, and builds lives
- How to tap into your own sources of positivity
With Positivity, you'll learn to see new possibilities, bounce back from setbacks, connect with others, and become the best version of yourself.
Rezension:
"Fredrickson, one of the pioneers of [positive psychology] knows her stuff. She is a sure-footed and compassionate guide to [this field's] many findings. Indeed, the best nuggets stem from [her] own work into what she calls the 'broaden-and-build theory'." Washington Post
