Positive Psychology : The Scientific and Practical Explorations of Human Strengths / C. R. Snyder, Shane J. Lopez, and Jennifer Teramoto Pedrotti. - Second edition. - New Delhi : SAGE South Asia , 2011. - xviii, 588 p. : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Positive Psychology: The Scientific and Practical Explorations of Human Strengths provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of positive psychology, which focuses on understanding and promoting the qualities that enable individuals and communities to thrive. Rather than concentrating primarily on mental illness and psychological disorders, the book explores human strengths, positive emotions, resilience, optimism, hope, creativity, wisdom, gratitude, and overall well-being. The authors combine scientific research with practical applications to explain how positive psychological principles can improve education, work environments, relationships, physical and mental health, leadership, and community life. Topics include happiness, emotional intelligence, character strengths, life satisfaction, motivation, coping with adversity, spirituality, forgiveness, and positive interventions designed to enhance psychological flourishing. Numerous case studies, self-assessment exercises, and research findings help readers understand how these concepts can be applied in everyday life. Written for undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology as well as professionals in counselling, education, social work, and human resource management, the book presents an evidence-based perspective on promoting healthy and meaningful lives through the development of individual and social strengths.
