This book was not what I expected but a good read nonetheless. I had expected a book focused on 'Flourishing'. The title of the book is, 'Flourish', after all but what I got was a gallop through all of Mr Seligman's life-work. This is a very interesting over-view of what he has achieved to date and what he hopes to achieve in the future. I greatly admire this man and what he is doing and I know I will return to the book to remind myself of his insights and direction.
I found the work he is doing..more

From the title, I was expecting a prescriptive book. Instead, it was more a descriptive book about the general background of positive psychology and several ways it has been used in the past several years. I also was puzzled by the couple of times that Dr. Seligman spent time defending himself against critics, which seemed out of place in this book to me. If you're already a fan of Dr. Seligman and positive psychology, you'll enjoy reading these stories about how the positive psychology model is..more

I'm not sure how to review this book, because it was quite different from what I was expecting after reading his earlier book, Authentic Happiness.
I knew from the introduction that Seligman thinks the earlier book was correct enough about happiness, but didn't cover all the aspects of well-being that positive psychology should be studying. So I thought this book would treat those new aspects (achievement and positive relationships) in the same depth as he'd covered the earlier ones (positive em..more

Authentic Happiness Martin Seligman Summary

I'm about 1/2 way through this book. So far I'm not all that impressed. I guess I was expecting more. It's written in a very chatty style with lots of little digressions that make it seem unfocused. There's also some annoying self-congratulatory stuff like how he mentions he was elected president of the APA with the highest margin of victory ever. I was hoping for lot more nuts & bolts, this is what you can do to flourish type content.

After I'd finished this book I had to wonder who the anticipated audience was? This is not a how-to, with detailed techniques for creating positive psychology in your own life. Mention of specific techniques is pretty much in passing. It's like a biography, but not so much of Seligman, the titan of the field, but of the discipline of positive psychology, with a great deal of 'how I done good' in the mix. Seligman narrates how, under his tutelage and that of his disciples, positive psychology has..more

I enjoyed Dr. Seligman's TED talk and I loved his book Authentic Happiness but this book was a disappointment. There is way too much information on his research working with the armed forces and his criticism of others who are not engaging in happiness from his research perspective to make this book worth reading.
In his talk, as in the book, he gives the daily exercise of writing down three good things that happened which is a concrete step to more happiness.
The best part is the last page which..more

Would recommend the dated, though similar and more practical Feeling Good by David Burns or even the pithy 59 Seconds by Richard Wiseman over this book in a second. Flourish is light on practical advice and heavy on grandstanding. Almost every chapter starts with someone of stature asking Seligman to improve something gargantuan, like the US military or America Psychiatric Association. Save it for the memoirs. There's an attractive and compelling theory here that could fit into a 4-page pamphlet..more

I just finished Flourish, a book about positive psychology by Martin Seligman, and although I really liked it, I thought it could have been organized a little better, perhaps less an account of the recent history and fields in which the field of positive psychology is venturing into (fields like education, the military, health/medicine, etc.) and more an account of what positive psychology is. There are pieces of what positive psychology is along the way but these pieces are not the book's organ..more

Recommended by the CEO of the Rescue Mission. Slow going due to research, but interesting discussion of applied positive psychology. The author updates and expands his research of the measures of well-being: positive emotions, engagement, meaning, accomplishments and positive relationships. Spending 10 minutes nightly on a 'blessings journal' listing three things that went well during the day and why they went well/or how you feel about them would be a good habit for young and old.

In general, this books offers a good overview of the field of positive psychology. As I have done the Positive Psychology Specialization on Coursera and as this book probably served as a foundation of the course, I did not learn as much as I hoped I would. Nevertheless, I found the the notes in the appendix quite helpful for further research.

Jan 10, 2012Jen rated it it was amazing

This was a fantastic book. Seligman does a great job of making the argument that teaching kids well-being (resilience, optimism), is more powerful than any other intervention. This was interesting to me for several reasons. First, as a person working in a K-6 school with some poverty. Second, as a parent. Third, as someone with a background and interest in psychology. The book includes a case study of a boarding school in Australia. It also includes exercises that you can do with kids to get the..more

I am one obsessed with social science popular nonfiction. Of the dozens of books I have read, this one is the best. Why? Because if the value of social science is the betterment of society and life of an individual, which I believe is the best measuring stick, then this book is #1.

Although a great believer in Dr. Seligman's work, the positive psychology movement, and the important work being done at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, I would not recommend this book to someone not already familiar with PP or Seligman. It's oddly structured and rambling--more an overview of Seligman's career and the development of positive psychology, with heaps of footnotes--than a enlightening look at the practical application of positive psychology in every..more

The book was pretty informative and evidence based (not your typical self-improvement babble types) and the author has a nice way of explaining concepts and introducing his own stories behind them. Overall, I enjoyed the book and it has a lot of references for more information at the end. The take away is that for flourishing to work effectively you need to experience positive emotions, engagement, positive relationships, meaning and achievement.

Great book. Gave me some actual ideas and exercises to do to help me flourish. I've started the 'What Went Well' exercise at night and with my cub scouts. :)

The book starts out with what you'd expect, explaining what positive psychology is and some exercises in positive psychology.
The entire rest of the book is a off-topic. I give a quick chapter summary below to show you what I mean. He talks about how much he helped the American Military with Post Traumatic Growth, and how he's baffled at criticism. He talks about how he thinks IRB's (which review experiments to make sure that no one gets hurt, and if someone gets hurt it's worthwhile) are too re..more

This was a book group selection so I listened to it. I like the premise of positive psychology as a way to improve well-being--if I understand it correctly, happiness and well-being will follow when you behave in certain ways. The author is a Phd psychologist at Penn State and very scientific in his research and studies. He claims the universal single best way to improve well-being is performing an act of kindness. I found that fascinating. He also reported an interesting thing when talking abou..more

This was a fairly powerful book for me both professionally and personally. I think have a history of anecdotally describing myself as a “pessimist.” This book helped me to analyze how my aversion to optimism isn’t really about optimism but more about vacuous imposters and hucksters peddling their version of optimism. Seligman’s notion of P.E.R.M.A. is a concept that I can wrap my head around and attempt to increasingly try to approximate in my life and values. Seligman shows us how science has c..more

Some interesting points, and the first 2 chapters are promising, as well as some of the chapters in the second half. The chapter on post-traumatic growth in the army is particularly engaging. I also really enjoyed learning some of his practical exercises of positive psychology when engaging with clients. However, the author tends to extensively discuss his own accomplishments (at some points the book seems like a marketing tool), and has a poor sense of organisational clarity when writing.

I’d say it’s a 3.5. I think this is a book worth reading, though I didn’t always enjoy reading it. I think positive psychology, PERMA, and the VIA character strengths are all great things to learn about and incorporate. I feel like I didn’t need all of the stories and explanations in there, but I appreciated some of the examples, particularly the one about the grammar school. For the most part, I found it interesting, informative, and applicable.

This book was really important for me to ‘get’ Duckworth’s Grit. The book tells allot about Seligman’s work on the Army resilience program - ie, grit.
It talks about the PERMA ‘model’ Whig stands for:
Positive emotion
Engagement
Relationships
Meaning and purpose in life
Accomplishment

Enlightening and Infuriating
Seligman makes an unbelievably fundamental mistake, and it mars his book badly. Yet he is a titan in his field, and people ignore him at their peril.
Much of his book is about the update to the Happiness hypothesis, with the additions to his Big Three measures of 'happiness' (which he now rejects as too narrow): Positive Emotion, Flow, and Meaning. The new additions are Accomplishment and Interpersonal Connection. Of these the case for Accomplishment is more succinctly..more

4.5 Stars. This is a really intriguing book that focuses on building strengths in order for people to grow and succeed. It takes the view that modern psychology which for the most part looks to treat issues such as depression by working to remove the symptoms. Seligman argues (and presents empirical data to back it up) that by using positive psychology to build strengths, humans can grow beyond just the absence of mental maladies. He also suggests that pairing accepted psychological therapies th..more

I gave this five stars because of the powerful premise that's presented in the first two chapters: the notion that well-being is larger than 'happiness' and relies on the co-existence of PERMA -- positive emotions, engagement, relationships with others, meaning, and achievement. This is eye-opening, crucially important stuff that can really improve the world as well as your own life. The case studies provided are compelling proof that this approach to improving human well-being works.

This book is a mess. I can't remember the last time I read something I hated this much. The Positive Psychology information and research is interesting and insightful, but overwhelmed by a rambling, incoherent, self-important autobiography. It feels like 3 or 4 different books, with different tones and genres, were spliced together hurriedly. It feels like attending a lecture where the professor spends seven minutes on the syllabus and fifty-three on self flattery and long winded anecdotes about..more

I love Martin Seligman, who is basically the KING of Positive Psychology. If you think Positive Psychology is a bit of fluff, you have to read his dense and scientific books, because there is a lot of science that being grateful and counting your blessings can ward of depression and other bad stuff. This book is dense, like his others - basically think textbook. Still, it's fascinating, particularly if you are interested in what could help our young students and military people be more resilient..more

Apr 25, 2011Richard rated it really liked it · review of another edition

In this book Seligman expands on the theory he wrote about in detail in Authentic Happiness, adding two more arms to his science of well being. A good chunk of the book is spent on bringing us up to date with the current positive psychology research and also how it is being applied practically. The book is a relatively easy read with copius notes. For anyone interested in this field it is a worthwhile read.

I'm a huge fan of this guy so it's pretty difficult for him to do any wrong in my mind. I really do think his ideas about human development, growth, life success, resilience, ect. have the power to change the course of the 21st century. There were a few parts that got a bit tedious and preachy, but without a doubt, this is still a worthwhile read.

“I used to think that the topic of positive psychology was happiness, that the gold standard for measuring happiness was life satisfaction, and that the goal of positive psychology was to increase life satisfaction. I now think that the topic of positive psychology is well-being, that the gold standard for measuring well-being is flourishing, and that the goal of positive psychology is to increase flourishing. This theory, which I call well-being theory, is very different from authentic happiness theory, and the difference requires explanation.” — 5 likes

“It turns out, however, that how much life satisfaction people report is itself determined by how good we feel at the very moment we are asked the question. Averaged over many people, the mood you are in determines more than 70 percent of how much life satisfaction you report and how well you judge your life to be going at that moment determines less than 30 percent.” — 3 likes
