It doesn't matter if you're 18 or 80, if you're not feeling like your "best possible self" then this book is your ready-made roadmap to a flourishing life - where positivity overrides negativity and well-being trumps depression. "The Positivity Prescription" bridges the gap between science and practice by providing a structured, 6-week program that guides the reader to learn and apply proven positive psychology practices. The program can be done alone, with a buddy or in a group. The book is presented in a user-friendly style and format that aims to provide motivation and coaching, practical tips and techniques, together with weekly challenges. Throughout the book, the reader is encouraged to take action and put their knowledge into practice. The book contains chapters on mood, motivation, might (character strengths), meaning, mindfulness and mindset.
This book is so useful and easy to read. The first read was very interesting, but I found going back and working through chapters the best way to get the most out of this book. The strategies in the book have had a profound effect on my levels of happiness and serve as a great reminder as to what is available in your own life to help yourself fight off the languishing tendencies.
