Positively Happy (by Sonja Lyubomirsky and Jaime Kurtz), for example, makes recommendations about savoring, gratitude, altruism and other empirically validated strategies for living a more fulfilling life. Our forthcoming workbook, Positively Speaking, by constrast, presents a very sophisticated view of the many tools associated with a solutions focus approach. So none of the books makes specific recommendations concerning NLP or hypnosis but each contributes an overview of positive psychological science and gives readers an oppportunity to integrate the learning through both reflection and action appropriate to the content. I hope this helps! Robert Steven, Each of the workbooks reflects a different corpus of scientific work, a unique range of refelctive activities, and suggestions for distinct interventions.

And this is exactly why I have developed such a strong interest for Positive Psychology over the past 6 months. I will definitely have to check out these workbooks sometime soon. Do you have any idea on what kind of exercises these are? How similar are they to NLP/hypnosis visualization techniques? “Because it is rooted in empirical study Positive Psychology has given the self-help market a much needed scientific makeover.”
