Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-Being by Martin Seligman

3.0

I appreciated the extensive research that was captured in this book and the tactical lessons learned for how to cultivate the power of positivity. It reaffirms with analysis, what I have long held true. I read as an audio book and I’m not sure if it was the readers voice in conjunction with the authors writing style, but I had to work to stay with the book. I found the “authors voice” to be very ego based and I struggled to push through this “I’m amazing and my peers are not” message that seems to come through off and on. That being said, I found the army study and post traumatic stress evaluations to be a gem worth sticking with it. As we continue to recover as a society post-Covid, any techniques that can aid in emotional resilience are well worth the investment.
