    Positive Psychology address important questions about how we lead our lives, find happiness and satisfaction, and face life's challenges. As a new and emerging area in the discipline, the subject matter of positive psychology holds intrinsic value for readers as it reflects upon a new 'psychology of well-being' and the means to achieve it.


    This book aims to make new researches and developments in positive psychology accessible to students and instructors, and to bridge the gap between an undergraduate audience and the professional level of source material. The authors hope to engage and maintain interest by making frequent connections and applications of the subject matter to the everyday lives of readers.
