About this item

In this beautifully crafted book, Joseph Emet explores the intersection between one of the hottest field of study in the realm of personal growth - Positive Psychology - and the ancient wisdom of Buddhism Positive Psychology - with its focus not on mental "disease," but rather on what actually makes people happy - has revolutionized the way that we look at mental health. What many people don't realize, however, is that Positive Psychology is not as young a field of inquiry as we think. In fact, according to Joseph Emet, the original positive thinker was the Buddha himself. In this wise and inspiring book, Emet traces the fascinating intersection between the age-old wisdom of Buddhism and the latest scientific research into what makes people happy.
