On positive psychology - Martin Seligman

Martin Seligman talks about psychology -- as a field of study and as it works one-on-one with each patient and each practitioner. As it moves beyond a focus on disease, what can modern psychology help us to become?

Talk by Martin Seligman.

This is a well-organized and clear presentation of a development in psychology that will be of great value. Thank you Dr. Seligman!

Indeed, the same as what psychologist Oliver Sacks mentioned in his famous book, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, regarding the purpose and use of psychology, it is questionable and debatable that psychology should only be used to identify people's weaknesses, deficits and problems. Besides curing diseases and diagnosing psychological diseases, psychology is just as capable of highlighting individual strengths and improving our lives for the better, just as Martin Seligman is doing. This is what we need!

Martin Seligman is amazing in his argument and support by academic research. Even though he hasn't nailed the positive attributes of crafting his presentation he is too good not to listen to as his message is always valuable and meaningful.

Great presentation but I could not wonder about the stage set up. Looks like a band in one corner, a dentist chair and table in the other one? Makes you wonder what the other presenters will be doing?? A front table with junk lying around on it (magical tricks or some-one forgot to clean up?). Then another small table with a stuffed animal, eggs, glass food jars with a wine glass? Random or not? Can anyone help me make sense of what I am seeing? Or did I miss the most interesting speaker engagement of the century? Live tooth pulling on stage, magic act, cooking class performed by stuffed animal while a band provide the music? How did I miss this?

This Is highly interesting with multiple-learning points.
The " IT" for me is that Psychology is not happy-ology .

Not good enough?, an outer event or result, eg "these methods are not good enough", according to phil jackson this is the very idea that blocks the flow. When you call the empty half of the glass bad, it becomes hard to ignore. When you call it less ideal or less preferred then you can focus on the half that is full with ease and flow. CBT has the answer to positive psychology within it. The way people use language
is a part of blocking the flow, this is why phil jackson had silence days at chicago bulls, to stay in the flow zone. Hhhhmmmm whats autism really about.
