LEARNED OPTIMISM (Martin Seligman)

Back

This book shows us how to stop automatically assuming guilt; how to get out of the habit of seeing the direst possible implicaitons in every setback; how to be optimistic. With concrete examples Dr Seligman, an expert on motivation, documents the effects of optimism on the quality of life, provides tests to determine the degree of our negative and positive orientation, and offers a program of specific exercises to help break the habit of pessimism and learn the habit of optimism for both ourselves and our children.
