About this product

Product Information

This book brings together the latest research on positive psychology from an international cast of researchers, mostly from Europe. Carefully chosen articles describe research and practice from diverse fields of positive psychology. Chapters cover different topics: happiness and well-being, measurement, motivation and goals, personality, academic performance and coping, and intervention. The book comprises selected papers presented at the 4th European Conference of Positive Psychology held in 2008 in Croatia. There are only few books which brought together European researchers in positive psychology. This book includes work of some distinguished authors like Ruut Veenhoven, Giovanni A. Fava and Shane J. Lopez, but it also presents valuable studies of less well known authors, thus giving insight into studies of growing body of European researchers in positive psychology. The book emphasizes cross-cultural approach to human pursuit of well-being. It presents research from different cultures, like Russia, Croatia, Portugal, New Zeland and South Africa. Until now, most research in positive psychology was conducted in Western cultures. Selection of studies from different cultures aims at broadening our understanding of those aspects of human experience that make life worth living in diverse cultural conditions.
