Internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman has been on the cutting edge of happiness research for more than two decades, pioneering a science that improves people's lives. In his most life-changing book yet - which has electrified his already massive readership - Seligman explains his theory of happiness and purpose.

Building on his game-changing work on optimism, motivation, and character, here is the way to get life right. In a fascinating evolution of thought, Flourish refines what Positive Psychology is all about: Well-Being. Featuring inspiring stories of Positive Psychology in action, Seligman shows how the U.S. Army improves soldiers' emotional resilience during and after service, how innovative schools educate and motivate, and how corporations augment performance and goal-setting. With its interactive exercises that help readers explore their own attitudes and aims, Flourish is a watershed in the understanding of happiness as well as a tool for getting the most out of life.
