perennial quest for a flourishing life

found compelling and fascinating. This book will help restore the
Character Ethic
*Stephen R Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People*
Seligman takes the best, most recent science in psychology and
applies it to our oldest, most basic human questions: How can we be
happy? And how can we be good? His book is groundbreaking,
heart-lifting, and most important, deeply useful. With pun
intended, I'm optimistic about its success.
*Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia*
An impressive achievement. This book will change how people view
psychology and how all of us view ourselves.
*Howard Gardner, Harvard University, author of Multiple
Intelligences*
Martin Seligman is on a mission: to take the rich and suprising
findings of a young field called Positive Psychology and use them
to imporve the mental, moral and spiritual well-being of his
readers. Being Positive Psychology's founder, as well as a vivid,
inspiring writer, he is uniquely qualified for this job. Only one
person could have written Authentic Happiness, but millions could
benefit from it.
