More Description

This book is about how the positive psychology movement can avoid dissolution, enhance its positive impact, and become a true science. The target readership of this book is professors of positive psychology. It¿s also likely that serious practitioners would find it interesting, as well. Now consider this, if you would. ~ We know where positive psychology came from, but do we know where it¿s going? ~ We know about the five elements of PERMA, but is there a universal process that¿s common to all five? ~ We use the expression ¿positive psychology movement,¿ but can we state what it is that makes it a movement? ~ We refer to positive psychology as a ¿science,¿ but what is it, exactly, that makes a movement into a science? ~ We have positive psychology books on many subjects, but could all the books also involve a same fundamental subject we haven¿t yet recognized? ~ We realize that positive psychology concepts are the solution to many of the psychological challenges of humankind, but is it possible that these concepts also contain the solution to one of our biggest physiological challenges: ending global overweightness and achieving worldwide healthy-weight living?
