Description

In this groundbreaking book, Martin Seligman, renowned psychologist, founder of the positive psychology movement, and prolific author, offers a new theory on a fundamental issue. What is happiness? Why do some people feel satisfied with life while others do not?  How are they influenced by circumstances outside of their control? Is it their financial position? Is it something related to the wiring of their personalities? Seligman provides real-life stories that, in addition to inspiring the reader, serve as support for his proposal. Human well-being depends on a number of attitudes and values—personal, family, social—that help guide our lives towards happiness.

En este innovador libro, el renombrado psicólogo y autor, fundador del movimiento conocido como psicología positiva, ofrece una nueva teoría sobre un tema fundamental. ¿Qué es la felicidad? ¿Por qué algunas personas se sienten satisfechas con la vida y otras no? ¿Son las circunstancias externas? ¿Es la posición económica? ¿Es algo relacionado con la personalidad? El autor ofrece historias de la vida real que, además de inspirar al lector, sirven como respaldo a esta propuesta, la cual hace depender el bienestar humano de una serie de actitudes y valores (personales, familiares, sociales) que, al ser asumidos plenamente, contribuyen a orientar nuestra existencia hacia la dicha.
