Review
"The way the book is organized allows for the inclusion and consideration of ideas/research that is difficult to define in 'traditional' psychology (i.e. flow, 'the zone'). I especially like the way that topics in 'Traditional' introductory psychology textbooks (e.g. social/personality/developmental/clinical) are presented with different information and different studies than I have seen before."
"I thought chapters 4, 5,6, and 8 were well written and covered topics that are not covered much in other textbooks."

Perfect Textbook for an Introduction to Positive Psychology,
By Claremont Guy (Claremont, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Custom Enrichment Module: Introduction to Positive Psychology (Paperback)
This is the textbook I used to teach an introductory course in positive psychology/positive organizational behavior. It is clear, comprehensive, and to the point. It is perfect for undergraduates, but provides enough information to satisfy graduate students. One of its major strengths is that it sticks to a scientific approach to positive psychology. It avoids mixing eastern mysticism into the discussion in contrast to some of the other positive psychology textbooks. I hope a second edition is published soon.
