In this important, entertaining book, one of the world's most celebrated psychologists, Martin Seligman, asserts that happiness can be learned and cultivated, and that everyone has the power to inject real joy into their lives. In Authentic Happiness, he describes the 24 strengths and virtues unique to the human psyche. Each of us, it seems, has at least five of these attributes, and can build on them to identify and develop to our maximum potential. By incorporating these strengths - which include kindness, originality, humour, optimism, curiosity, enthusiasm and generosity -- into our everyday lives, he tells us, we can reach new levels of optimism, happiness and productivity. Authentic Happiness provides a variety of tests and unique assessment tools to enable readers to discover and deploy those strengths at work, in love and in raising children. By accessing the very best in ourselves, we can improve the world around us and achieve new and lasting levels of authentic contentment and joy.

I've discovered first-hand through my research and the work I've done among various cultures around the globe that there are no short cuts to psychological resilience and happiness. To become resilient in a way that helps you be ok when things in your life are not ok and, to learn to live happily, you must understand and intentionally apply correct principles. This book outlines these principles and describes a number of tools that I've used in my clinical practice to help individuals transform their lives in remarkable ways. What's different here is that the principles, processes and self-help tools outlined in the book are not simply theoretical fun and games. Rather, they are based on what leading behavioral and neural scientists agree are the most important principles and conditions that must be adhered to in an effective, self-directed psychological change process. This means, given what we now know about brain plasticity, if you take the time to learn and apply the principles and approachesoutlined here, you'llbe able to "hack"into your own brain and rewire your neural-pathways in a way that helps you consistently increase your psychological resilience. Once you've accomplished this "brain hack" using my carefully honed cognitive reappraisal, self-hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming techniques, you'll be able to systematically identify and alter irrational thought patterns that cause your undesirable behaviors and undermine your ability to consistently set and achieve goals. You'll also be able to use my Happiness Algorithm Planner (H.A.P.) to objectively discern your perceived state of happiness, isolate what makes you more or less happy, and develop a plan to increase and sustain your sense of wellbeing and personal contentment regardless of what's going on in the world around you."

The United States has never had a president quite like Donald J. Trump. He violated every rule of conventional presidential campaigns to win a race that almost no one, including at times he himself, thought he would win. In so doing, Trump set off cataclysmic shock waves across the country and world that have not subsided and are unlikely to as long as he remains in office. Critics of Trump abound, as do anonymously sourced speculations about his motives, yet the real man behind this unprecedented presidency remains largely unknown. In this innovative analysis, American presidency scholar and trained psychoanalyst Stanley Renshon reaches beyond partisan narrative to offer a serious and substantive examination of Trump’s real psychology and controversial presidency. He analyzes Trump as a preemptive president trying to become transformative by initiating a Politics of American Restoration. Rigorously grounded in both political science and psychology scholarship, The Real Psychology of the Trump Presidency offers a unique and thoughtful perspective on our controversial 45th president.

Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home. “Beautiful and propulsive . . .

Psychology and the Real World: Essays Illustrating Fundamental Contributions to Society is a collection of brief, personal, original essays, ranging in length from 2500 to 3500 words, in which leading academic psychologists describe what their area of research has contributed to society. The authors are true stars in the field of psychology. Some of their work (for example, Elizabeth Loftus’s studies of false memories, Paul Ekman’s research on facial expression, and Eliot Aronson’s “jigsaw,” or cooperative, classroom studies) is well known to the public. The research of others is less familiar to nonspecialists, but no less fascinating. The book is unique the world of textbook ancillaries in that it does not reprint writings. Rather, innovative psychological scientists clearly and entertainingly tell readers why their research matters and how their line of inquiry developed. The concept for the book came from the FABBS Foundation, a nonprofit educational foundation that supports the work of 22 scholarly societies that span the cognitive, psychological, behavioral, and brain sciences. The authors have volunteered their contributions. These authors have agreed that all grants, advances, and royalties and other financial earnings from this volume will go to the FABBS Foundation to support their educational mission.

"True Psychology: A Scientific Approach to a Better Life," can systematically guide you through the process of rewriting and internalizing your life scripts in a way that enables you to become your highest and best self. Dr. Cole provides a thought provoking, guided approach to engaging and improving the inner and outer dialogues that form the story of our life. Through the Life Script Restructuring (LSR) process, he has demonstrated not only that self-help planning and professional insight can be make relevant and available, but his basis on science, research and expert methodology lends a credibility which few other resources can match. Contemporary Neurological Research has demonstrated that our brains have the ability to rewire themselves in response to changes in our thinking. This characteristic of the brain is called Neuroplasticity. LSR systematically leverages brain plasticity in a way that allows you to painlessly unlearn maladaptive ways of thinking and living and permanently replace them with rational life scripts that continually dictate rational thoughts and actions. Whether you are looking for a quick skim or a thorough guidebook to improve your life and enhance your happiness, you will find that and more within the pages of True Psychology. You will find your path to a better, stronger life.

From one of America’s most brilliant writers, a New York Times bestselling journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and enduring happiness. At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer—and the reason we make other people suffer—is that we don’t see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. In this “sublime” (The New Yorker), pathbreaking book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life—how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. He also shows why this transformation works, drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution. This book is the culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright’s landmark book on evolutionary psychology, The Moral Animal, and deepened as he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some of the world’s most skilled meditators. The result is a story that is “provocative, informative and...deeply rewarding” (The New York Times Book Review), and as entertaining as it is illuminating. Written with the wit, clarity, and grace for which Wright is famous, Why Buddhism Is True lays the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age and shows how, in a time of technological distraction and social division, we can save ourselves from ourselves, both as individuals and as a species.
