Positive Psychology : The Basics
Rona Hart
This revised and expanded second edition of Positive Psychology: The Basics offers an accessible, balanced and critical introduction to the science of human flourishing. Tracing Positive Psychology from its emergence at the end of the twentieth century through second- and third-wave approaches, the book explores the field’s major achievements and the critiques that have shaped its development. It introduces key theories, research and applications across happiness and wellbeing, positive emotions, optimism and hope, goal pursuit and change, self-regulation and grit, mindfulness and flow, meaning and wisdom, character strengths, positive relationships, stress, resilience, posttraumatic growth and Positive Psychology Interventions.
The new edition brings the review of the field up to date, with expanded coverage of wellbeing as a central area of theoretical development. This includes new discussion of metatheories of wellbeing, overall wellbeing, and psychological wellbeing. It also introduces new sections on mindfulness and wisdom, new perspectives on strengths, a novel classification of Positive Psychology Interventions, and contemporary research on relationships, including workplace relationships, prosocial behaviour and social media.
It also takes stock of the field’s development, and considers how the discipline has responded to criticism and its future trajectory. Clear, concise and jargon-free, Positive Psychology: The Basics is an essential introduction for students, practitioners, academics and anyone seeking to understand the essence of a life well lived.
