Reseña del libro "Positive Psychology: Science and Application of Psycho-Emotional Health and Well-Being (en Inglés)"
The number of issues that challenge the well-being of the human condition in our contemporary society are nearly infinite. And while it's easy to focus discretely on challenges and limitations, there is a way to both understand significant issues while also recognizing and uplifting human strength, resilience, and all we have to offer. Positive Psychology: Science and Applications of Psycho-Emotional Health and Well-Being provides psychologists, counselors, and mental health specialists with a research-based framework that can help them assist clients through the lenses of positivity, growth, and strength. Opening chapters explore positive perspectives of the human condition, what is and isn't positive psychology, the nature of subjective well-being, and the concept of flourishing. Additional chapters cover the neurological connection between the brain and emotions, the pursuit of happiness, the idea of "goodness" regarding virtues, values, and character strengths, and the importance of savoring the moment. The power of hope and optimism, interventions promoting resiliency, the dynamics of relationships in personal well-being, and the concept of deep connection are covered. The closing chapter considers the future of positive psychology and its application to practice. Each chapter is firmly rooted in research and theory, provides real-world illustrations of the concepts in application, and offers readers a variety of exercises to bring the material to life. Developed to provide professionals with the knowledge and skillsets they need to help their clients live into their true potential, Positive Psychology is an ideal resource for courses and programs in psychology and counseling.
