Story
This book will help you flourish. With this unprecedented promise, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman begins Flourish, his first book in 10 years - and the first to present his dynamic new concept of what well-being really is. Traditionally, the goal of psychology has been to relieve human suffering, but the goal of the Positive Psychology movement, which Dr. Seligman has led for 15 years, is different - it’s about actually raising the bar for the human condition.

Story
A belief in free will touches nearly everything that human beings value. It is difficult to think about law, politics, religion, public policy, intimate relationships, morality—as well as feelings of remorse or personal achievement—without first imagining that every person is the true source of his or her thoughts and actions. And yet the facts tell us that free will is an illusion.

Not the whole book
I purchased this on audible even though I own the book because it is easier to get time to listen than to read. The audio book only has 2 chapters and is less than 2 hours long when the written copy has 15 chapters and 300 pages. When I purchase an audio book I expect to receive the same contents as is in the written copy. I was very disappointed

Not what I had hoped for..
Felt compelled to learn a new skill an optimism seemed as good as any. Sadly, unlike most other self development books, this is akin to a training video. I really don't enjoy watching live action skits about real life examples, and listening to them is just as bad.
