"This succinct compilation of some of the important ideas and
findings in Positive Psychology provides a handy reference for
those new to the field and a useful taster for those who wish to
delve more deeply." - Professor Felicia A Huppert, Director of the
Well-being Institute, University of Cambridge, UK"This book offers
an empirically based, rigorously scientific approach to a rapidly
changing and expanding field. Undergraduates and graduate students
will much appreciate the accessible presentation, ample graphics,
and personal development questions, while professionals will be
pleased with the up-to-date, sensible coverage of this thoroughly
revised edition. The next generation of positive psychology
textbooks has arrived!" - Grant Rich, University of Alaska,
USAPraise for the first edition:"Carr's Positive Psychology is a
magisterial text, an enormously informative and inclusive synthesis
of this new branch of science. It is a model of a contemporary
textbook, with references to websites, useful copies of test forms,
and provocative questions at the end of chapters. The positive
psychology movement is fortunate to rate such an excellent textbook
so soon after its inception." - Mihaly Csikszentmihaly, Claremont
Graduate University, California, USA"This book does more than
provide a thorough review of the extant research in positive
psychology - it outlines available resources, methods of
measurement, offers a critique of available research and makes
recommendations for further reading and research. Alan Carr's
background in systemic psychotherapy and critical psychology
enables him to add theoretical richness to the field of positive
psychology by integrating contextual and relational perspectives
with this inherently individualistic approach." - Arlene Vetere,
University of East London, UK
