“This book will help you flourish.” 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.

"Repaves the path to true happiness. A relentlessly optimistic guidebook on finding and securing individual happiness." –Kirkus
"Important" --Publishers Weekly
"I was immediately charmed... Seligman's intentions are admirable and exciting. He is consumed by his mission, which is to take psychology on from its traditional role in alleviating misery, and broaden it into positive psychology -- the entirely different art of teaching us how to be wiser, stronger, more generous to others, more self-disciplined, and more capable of dealing with difficulty and rejection... The book is full of nuggets about why positive approaches work."

Von Hein Zegers
Format:Taschenbuch
Wahrscheinlich wird dieses Buch ein neues Standardwerk der Positiven Psychologie.
Positive psychology has come to be defined as "the scientific study of what enables individuals and communities to thrive". "Flourish" explores this concept of thriving. The last 15 years, Martin Seligman has been one of the major driving forces behind positive psychology. He has authored influential bestsellers such as Der Glücks-Faktor: Warum Optimisten länger leben / "Authentic Happiness" (2002). Now, again about a decade later, Seligman writes a new account of what he has been teaching and telling on conferences lately. He does so in a somewhat peculiar mix: a) a manifesto for a broad science of well-being, b) accounts of positive psychology research and practice, interlaced with c) a backstage history of positive psychology.
a) First of all, "Flourish" is a manifesto for a science of well-being. Seligman departs from his earlier "Authentic Happiness" concept and posits the broader topic of "well-being". "Authentic happiness" comprised three components: 1. positive emotion (feeling good), 2. engagement (flow) and 3. meaning. Seligman now adds two more components of well-being: 4. positive relationships and 5. accomplishment. To my humble opinion, the addition of 4. positive relationships is long overdue, whereas the addition of 5. accomplishment may turn out to be controversial.
b) Next, this book gives several examples of well-being research. Don't expect yet another pop self-help peptalk of "happiness in 5 easy steps".... Lesen Sie weiter... ›

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Das Buch hält nicht was es verspricht, oder zumindest was in anderen Rezensionen angepriesen wird. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass eine Aneinanderreihung von allgemeinen Aussagen (zum Beispiel, gib Deinen Handlungen einen Sinn) zu einem neuen Standardwerk in der Psychologie wird. Es ist vielmehr ein Lebensratgeber und wird vor allem diejenigen Leser berühren, die sich unglücklich fühlen. Wobei ich mir nicht sicher bin, ob die Lektüre dieses Buches eine Anleitung geben kann sein Leben umzustellen.
Obendrein fand ich das Buch sehr langatmig und nicht spannend zu lesen. Da ich mir durchaus vorstellen kann, dass eine kleine Zielgruppe von diesem "Ratgeber" profitieren kann vergebe ich 3 Sterne!

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Insgesamt ein interessantes Buch. Die Idee des "visionären Verständnisses des Wohlbefindens" wird hervorragend verkauft. Einerseits wird die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung und die daraus potenziell resultierenden Vorteile hervorgehoben. Andererseits wird man motiviert die eigenen Ziele kritisch zu überdenken und bei Bedarf anzupassen. Dafür muss man jedoch etwas Ausdauer aufbringen (zahlreiche Wiederholungen und einwenig zuviel Eigenwerbung).
