Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness and Human Strengths

"I have read Professor Carr's excellent compendium of the positive psychology literature many times. It is a book one comes back to, time and time again; and it has become to me, a vademecum of sorts.

The book is somewhat academic in nature and style, but is highly accessible to the intelligent reader. An excellent summary presents at the end of each chapter, along with suggested reading material. The book seems geared towards students of psychology and her allied subjects, but can feasibly be used as a self-help book. For those interested in augmenting their personal happiness I cannot recommend this book highly enough."
