Positivity: Groundbreaking Research Reveals How to Embrace the Hidden Strength of Positive Emotions, Overcome Negativity, and Thrive
Positivity: Groundbreaking Research Reveals How to Embrace the Hidden Strength of Positive Emotions, Overcome Negativity, and Thrive

Science-backed optimism that actually reshapes your life

If you like self-help that feels grounded rather than fluffy, this one stands out because Barbara Fredrickson brings real psychological research to something as personal as emotion. Readers often come away feeling empowered by the idea that positivity is not forced cheerfulness, but a practical skill that can widen your perspective and help you recover from stress. It is especially good for anyone wanting gentle, evidence-based ways to feel more resilient, connected, and alive.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

World-renowned researcher Dr. Barbara Fredrickson provides lab-tested tools to help you create a healthier, more vibrant, and flourishing life through a process she calls "the upward spiral." You'll discover: what positivity is and why it must be heartfelt to be effective; the ten sometimes surprising forms of positivity; why positivity is more important than happiness; how positivity can enhance relationships, work, and health, and how it relieves depression, broadens minds, and builds lives; the top-tier research backing the 3-to-1 "positivity ratio" as a key tipping point; that your sources of positivity are unique and how to tap into them; and how to calculate, track, and improve your current positivity ratio. With Positivity, you’ll learn to see new possibilities, bounce back from setbacks, connect with others, and become the best version of yourself.
