Authentic Happiness

Using the New Positive Psychology to Realize Your Potential for Lasting Fulfillment
Book • 2002
In 'Authentic Happiness,' Martin E.P.

Seligman introduces the revolutionary science of positive psychology, challenging the traditional focus on mental illness by promoting an approach that fosters positive emotions, strengths, and virtues.

The book provides practical exercises, brief tests, and a dynamic website program to help readers identify their highest virtues and use them to improve all aspects of their lives.

Seligman emphasizes the importance of 'signature strengths'—unique personal traits that enhance happiness and fulfillment—and explores how these strengths can be applied in relationships, work, parenting, and education to create healthier, happier communities.
