520 |a ""Why Does Positive Psychology Matter?" Positive psychology has immediate implications for being happier, living a fuller life, accomplishing one's goals, and building better relationships. Indeed, these real-world implications are what initially attracted many researchers to the field. Throughout the text, we take great care to relate research findings to the realities of students' lives. While never compromising scientific rigor, each chapter is designed to answer the question that, in our experience, many students are silently asking: So what? "Practice Positive Psychology." A valuable goal for any positive psychology course is for students to gain insights into their own personal strengths, virtues, and assets, and then use these insights to improve themselves. To systematically encourage this practice, at the conclusion of each chapter, we provide exercises that have been empirically demonstrated to nurture the strengths covered in that section of the book"--  |c Provided by publisher.
