Reviews

Donaldson, Csikszentmihalyi, and Nakamura have outdone themselves. They have managed to push the boundaries of knowledge on positive psychology even farther by integrating the contribution of some of the most brilliant contributors in the field. Chapters address themes such as positive work, education, relationships, lifespan development, and mentoring while leaving room for theory and applications. This book is a must read! I recommend it for all those interested in positive psychology, students, scientists, and practitioners alike.-Robert J. Vallerand, University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada
