In 'Flourish', Martin E.P. Seligman presents a new concept of well-being that goes beyond traditional psychology's focus on alleviating suffering. He introduces the PERMA model, which consists of Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. These pillars are essential for a life of profound fulfillment. The book discusses how these elements can be applied in various aspects of life, including education, economics, therapy, and public policy. It also includes inspiring stories of Positive Psychology in action, such as the U.S. Army's training in emotional resilience and innovative school programs. Seligman's work is grounded in extensive research and provides practical exercises for readers to explore their own attitudes and aims.

The book tells the story of Robert Kiyosaki's two fathers: his 'poor dad,' a highly educated but fiscally poor man, and his 'rich dad,' the father of his best friend who was a successful entrepreneur. It emphasizes the importance of financial education, distinguishing between assets and liabilities, and building wealth through investing in assets such as real estate and businesses. Kiyosaki argues that a good education and a secure job are not guarantees for financial success and provides practical lessons on how to make money work for you rather than working for money.
