Positive Psychology Pack (Tal Ben-Shahar)

Includes a series of Harvard lectures, slides from similar lectures and the audio-book "Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment".

If you had problems watching the last upload I apologize and hope you can forgive me; this one should play fine for everyone.

Positive psychology is a recent branch of psychology whose purpose was summed up in 1998 by Martin Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: "We believe that a psychology of positive human functioning will arise that achieves a scientific understanding and effective interventions to build thriving in individuals, families, and communities." Positive psychologists seek "to find and nurture genius and talent", and "to make normal life more fulfilling", not simply to treat mental illness. The field is intended to complement, not to replace traditional psychology.

Seligman pointed out that for the half century clinical psychology "has been consumed by a single topic only - mental illness", echoing Maslow’s comments. He urged psychologists to continue the earlier missions of psychology of nurturing talent and improving normal life.
