Martin E. P. Seligman and Christopher Peterson.

Recent Reviews

  • This is a hopeful, encouraging self-help book with a clear structure and is easy to read and digest. My favorite part of this book is the tone. It is encouraging and realistic about our personalities and has plenty of great information and explanations, with real life/personal stories.
