The Hope Circuit: A Psychologist's Journey from Helplessness to Optimism
Autor Martin E. P. Seligmanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 apr 2018
When
Martin
E.
P.
Seligman
first
encountered
psychology
in
the
1960s,
the
field
was
devoted
to
eliminating
misery:
it
was
the
science
of
how
past
trauma
creates
present
symptoms.
Today,
thanks
in
large
part
to
Seligman's
Positive
Psychology
movement,
it
is
ever
more
focused
not
on
what
cripples
life,
but
on
what
makes
life
worth
living--with
profound
consequences
for
our
mental
health.
In
this
wise
and
eloquent
memoir,
spanning
the
most
transformative
years
in
the
history
of
modern
psychology,
Seligman
recounts
how
he
learned
to
study
optimism--including
a
life-changing
conversation
with
his
five-year-old
daughter.
He
tells
the
human
stories
behind
some
of
his
major
findings,
like
CAVE,
an
analytical
tool
that
predicts
election
outcomes
(with
shocking
accuracy)
based
on
the
language
used
in
campaign
speeches,
the
international
spread
of
Positive
Education,
the
launch
of
the
US
Army's
huge
resilience
program,
and
the
canonical
studies
that
birthed
the
theory
of
learned
helplessness--which
he
now
reveals
was
incorrect.
And
he
writes
at
length
for
the
first
time
about
his
own
battles
with
depression
at
a
young
age.
InThe
Hope
Circuit,
Seligman
makes
a
compelling
and
deeply
personal
case
for
the
importance
of
virtues
like
hope,
gratitude,
and
wisdom
for
our
mental
health.
You
will
walk
away
from
this
book
not
just
educated
but
deeply
enriched.
