Positivity by Barbara Fredrickson

Positivity by Barbara Fredrickson

Drawing on more than twenty years of scientific research into positive emotions, world renowned researcher Dr Barbara Fredrickson shows us that attaining positivity is not about striving to be an annoyingly and unnaturally cheerful 'Pollyanna'. Rather, it is about putting into practice the '3-to-1 ratio' of positive to negative emotions, the crucial tipping point that will enable you to embark on an 'upward spiral' towards a healthier, more vibrant, and flourishing life.

"Written by one of the most influential contributors to this new perspective in science, Positivity is full of deep insights about human behaviour as well as useful suggestions for how to apply them in everyday life" Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - Author of Flow "The first time I heard Barb Fredrickson speak, the famous psychologist sitting next to me said, 'That's the real thing!' This book, like Barb, is the 'Real Thing': It's the perfect blend of sound science and wise advice on how to become happier. Barbara Fredrickson is the genius of the positive psychology movement." Martin E. P. Seligman - Author of Authentic Happiness

Dr Barbara Fredrickson is Kenan Distinguished Professor of Psychology and principal investigator of the Positive Emotions and Psychophysiology Laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is a leading scholar within social psychology, affective science, and positive psychology.
