Positive Psychology For Dummies

Why do some people achieve greater success and happiness than
others? The key is positive psychology.

For most of its history, psychology has focused mainly on the
darker side of human behaviour - depression, anxiety, psychosis and
psychopathic behaviour. In 1998, Martin Seligman became president
of the American Psychological Association and inspired a movement
to focus on the positives in human behaviour.
