Drawing on more than twenty years of scientific research into positive emotions, the author shows us that attaining positivity is not about striving to be an annoyingly and unnaturally cheerful 'Pollyanna'. It is about putting into practice the '3-to-1 ratio' of positive to negative emotions.

One of the leading members of the positive psychology movement draws on cutting-edge research and lab-tested tools to explain:

• Why positivity is more important than happiness

• How it relieves depression, broadens minds, and builds lives

• How to tap into your own sources of positivity

With Positivity, you’ll learn to see new possibilities, bounce back from setbacks, connect with others, and become the best version of yourself.

Dr Barbara Fredrickson is Kenan Distinguished Professor of Psychology and principal investigator of the Positive Emotions and Psychophysiology Laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is a leading scholar within social psychology, affective science, and positive psychology.
