โฆ Synopsis
This newest positive psychology handbook is an edited volume, with contributing authors including Czikszentmihalyi, Emmons, and more.
When Dr. Haidt teaches a senior-level college course on flourishing, he assigns this text as well as Martin Seligman's (2002) Authentic happiness, Ben Franklin's autobiography, Buddha's Dhammapada, Burns' (1999) Feeling good: The new mood therapy, and finally his own (2006) The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding modern truth in ancient wisdom.
Lay readers interested in the topic but daunted by the jargon of modern experimental psychology will be happy with Authentic Happiness or The Happiness Hypothesis -- both written by major researchers but intended-for-the-public.
