Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mindset with Positive Psychology
6.99 €
Optimism is not just a belief that everything will be fine. It is a way of seeing the world in such a way that difficulties seem like opportunities. Optimists do not ignore problems, but believe that they can overcome them. Research shows that an optimistic attitude helps to cope with illnesses, be more successful in relationships, live longer and happier. But is it possible to become an optimist?
The founder of positive psychology Martin Selinman in his book contrasts the concept of learned helplessness - a state in which a person accepts the lack of control over events - with the idea of learned optimism, which involves actively developing a positive worldview. The author argues that everyone can cope with despondency, increase resistance to stress, you just need to focus on your positive sides, develop them and show them every day.
The book contains tests and exercises that will allow you to understand how happy you are now, how to negotiate with yourself and learn to think positively.
