Flourish
Martin Seligman
(NZ$49.95 incl GST)
From the author of the International Bestseller Authentic Happiness. In this groundbreaking book, one of the world's foremost academic psychologists - and founder of the Positive Psychology movement - offers a new theory on what makes people flourish and how to truly get the most out of life. Flourish is a fascinating evolution of Seligman's thinking, and offers inspiring stories of Positive Psychology in action - innovative schools that add resilience to their curricula; a new theory of success and intelligence; and evidence on how positive physical health can turn medicine on its head. Building on his game-changing work on optimism, motivation and character, Seligman shows us how to flourish and bring well-being into both our personal lives and society as a whole. Wellbeing is a way of thinking that the new coalition government is taking very seriously indeed.
Learned Optimism
Martin Seligman
(NZ$39.95 incl GST)
Pessimists believe that bad events are their fault, will last a long time, and undermine everything - creating a sense of helplessness and even depression. Optimists believe that defeat is a temporary setback or a challenge to overcome. "Pessimism is escapable," asserts Seligman, by learning a new set of skills that will help you to take charge, resist depression, and make yourself feel better and accomplish more. In Learned Optimism he shows us how to stop automatically assuming guilt, how to stop seeing the direst possible implications in every setback, how to be optimistic.

Children will develop the emotional resilience they need to be confident teenagers and adults with healthy self-esteem.
