The Optimistic Child: A Proven Program to Safeguard Children Against Depression and BuildLifelong Resilience 1 review
Martin E. P. Seligman
Houghton Mifflin, 2007
Excellent book
I had read this author's book "Learned Optimism" which was oriented to adults. The Optimistic Child gives an emphasis to the parent-child relationship instead which is a great addition to his prior work. I found it a little more technical in its writing than the adult version, but not too difficult to read. I highly recommend it for parents trying to help their children to be positive and ...

Learned Helplessness: A Theory for the Age of Personal Control 2 reviews
Christopher Peterson, Steven F. Maier, ...
Oxford University Press, USA, 1995
A fascinating read for students of psychology
I enjoyed this book but I have to admit to a prejudice. I am a huge fan of Seligman's books and grab everything I can get my hands on.
This book is well argued and provides compelling evidence of the phenomenom of 'Learned Helpnessness' which can lead to depression, low motivation and poor workplace performance.
The book discusses and interprets experimental research in the area of learned ...

The Optimistic Child: Proven Program to Safeguard Children from Depression & Build Lifelong Resilience24 reviews
Martin E. Seligman
Harper Paperbacks, 1996
Learned Optimism -- wonderful simple wisdom!!!
I read many of Dr. Seligman's books for a paper and presentation I did in a Psychology class -- my professor was very impressed -- I also utilized his method with a 4 year old child who had the "I can't do it" attitude -- with the book and his mother purchased it -- within a matter of a month that little boy moved from "I can't do it" to "let me try to do it and if I need your help I'll ask you ...

Learned Optimism
I received this book about a year ago and I think it is the best self help book on the market. It has been fantastic and has helped me so much by giving me scientifically proven techniques to change the way I look at events or situations.
I use to read a few self help books to stay positive and ended up giving them up as I found they never gave me any help and where filled with 'take care ...

Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life72 reviews
Martin Seligman
Free Press, 1998
shows people can improve their attitudes
It is refreshing to read a book like this showing people can change to being more optimistic, rather than all those books out there trying to convince people they have depression and they can't do anything about it but take pills for the rest of their lives.

A positive, worthwhile, and encouraging model for a vital question
-The authors helped found the Positive Psychology movement, which hopes to supplement psychology's current medical model ("find what's wrong, then fix it") with a model for positive health ("find what's right, then encourage it"). Psychological health, which is not just an absence of disease, includes such things as character preparation, improved baseline happiness, realistic optimism, wisdom, ...

Explanatory Style
Lawrence Erlbaum, 1995
This is the first work to condense the large literature on explanatory style -- one's tendency to offer similar sorts of explanations for different events. This cognitive variable has been related to psychopathology, physical health, achievement and success. Compiled by experts in the fields of depression, anxiety, psychoneuroimmunology and motivation, this volume details our current level of understanding, outlines gaps in our knowledge, and ...

Helplessness: On Depression, Development, and Death (A Series of Books in Psychology)1 review
Martin E. P. Seligman
W.H. Freeman & Company, 1992
Good reading for a Psychologist or Clergyman
Just for the readers information I am a Ministry and Theology freshman major in college. I choose this book to do a review on; and I gave the book the typical stereotype of being just another boring book about Psychology, but I was proven wrong. Martin E. P. Seligman uses many examples and explains what he writes for those of us who don't have a large vocabulary. If you need a book that ...

Martin Seligman
Knopf, 1990
Optimism Wins
This is a book packed with science yet written in a style that is interesting and easy to understand. Reports of experiment after experiment systematically convince the reader.
Seligman's book describes how the mental attitude of helplessness can be learned and unlearned, how helplessness both results from and exacerbates a pessimistic personality style, and how helplessness/pessimism ends in ...

Ethnopolitical Warfare: Causes, Consequences, and Possible Solutions1 review
American Psychological Association (APA), 2001
Genocide and violence
This book adds significantly to the far too small literature attempting to explain today's worldwide epidemic of genocide and ethnic violence. My generation believed we had ended all that by defeating the Nazis. Not so; there have been a couple of dozen major genocides since, and countless minor massacres. The book at hand is a collection of chapters by psychologists (and a few other social ...
