Flourish : a new understanding of happiness and well-being - and how to achieve them

'Admirable and exciting' -Sunday Times'His most personal and boldest book so far' -Nature'This book will help you flourish.' With this promise, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman begins Flourish, the first book 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 15 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.
