The Hope Circuit: A Psychologist's Journey from Helplessness to Optimism

Description

This wise and eloquent memoir recounts how Martin Seligman learned to study optimism and includes a life-changing conversation with his then-five-year-old daughter. He includes human stories behind some of his major findings, like CAVE, an analytical tool that predicts election outcomes with shocking accuracy - based on the language used in campaign speeches. Learn about the international spread of Positive Education, the launch of the US Army's resilience program, and the canonical studies that birthed the theory of learned helplessness -- which he now reveals was incorrect. He also writes at length about his own battles with depression.
