Book Description
Going deeper! That is the first invitation. How can you be the most authentic you? What feelings are yet tangled up inside? When is your behavior often self-defeating? How is your happiness being stifled? Laennec, the inventor of the stethoscope, advised, "Listen to your patient! He is giving you the diagnosis." Positive psychology looks to the person through scientific measures. Positive psychology looks to the patient for what works and what doesn't work in daily living.We will listen to our insides. We will go deeper together to find possible solutions to the dilemmas life has been bringing our way. Going higher! What are you meant to do with your life? What will bring you the freedom you yearn for? How do we get in synch with the realm that is so much bigger than we are?Mark Twain famously quipped, "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." He is addressing going deeper. Positive psychology targets a soul-deep contentment that is enduring, and that feels like "well-being" for a lifetime. It is a happiness akin to fulfillment, in the sense of life fully, wisely, rightly lived. Positive psychology is, most basically, the scientific study of what increases our happiness in life, or, how we make a good life even better. Interested? I am!Positive psychology is not the answer; but it, instead, is pointing to, and identifying, multiple answers for how we enrich our daily living.The college classroom and church settings have been the settings I have had to explore human vitality with others. Now I see opportunity to explore issues heart to heart with readers like you.Here is my hope: by examining positive psychology principles in this book, you, too, may come to, 1) envision a more fulfilling future for yourself, and 2) discover new, practical action steps that can impact, and influence, you toward more positive ways of living. You have been drawn to this book. You are drawn toward personal growth. Let's go on the adventure of discovery together!
