Happy New Year Everyone and I hope it will be a very positive and hopeful year. I am now traversing the second anniversary of dear Peter's death (January 4). Amidst the floods and winds it is difficult to think that the world will be warm and cheerful! I have been helped enormously by the recent book by Martin Seligman, 'Flourish' (2011).
Seligman has moved on from his previous book 'Authentic Happiness' and developed the psychology of well-being. Well-Being includes the following elements of:
Positive emotion,
Engagement,
Relationships,
Meaning,
Achievement,
These five elements are each elaborated with important qualities such as hope and courage.
Hope and courage can see us through many difficulties!
