“At last, psychology gets serious about glee, fun, and happiness. Martin Seligman has given us a gift–a practical map for the perennial quest for a flourishing life.”
~ Daniel Goleman, author of “Emotional Intelligence”
commenting on “Authentic Happiness” by Martin Seligman
In his book, “Authentic Happiness,” Martin Seligman boils down the science of happiness into a very simple equation.
Ready?
Discover your strengths and use them often.
And you’ll be pretty darn happy.
Want a truly meaningful life?
Discover your strengths, use them often, and give them to something bigger than yourself.
Shall we?
Fun.
(You might dig the overview of “Authentic Happiness” I did. And take the strengths assessment test today to take the next step in mastering the science of happiness!)
And, for those curious souls, my "signature strengths" are:
- Creativity: I like finding new, fun ways to do things
- Hope & Optimism: I believe I can do anything... and so can anyone else. :)
- Kindness & Generosity: I get a lot out of giving.
- Energy & Enthusiasm: I have a lot of it.
- Wisdom & Perspective: I love understanding life.
- Courage: I like taking risks.
What’re yours?!?
