Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman - YouTube
review by Brian Johnson
“…there is astonishing convergence across the millennia and across cultures about virtue and strength. Confucius, Aristotle, Aquinas, the Bushido samurai code, the Bhagavad-Gita, and other venerable traditions disagree on the details, but all of these codes include six core virtues:
- Wisdom and knowledge
- Courage
- Love and humanity
- Justice
- Temperance
- Spirituality and transcendence
Rather, I believe that the highest success in living and the deepest emotional satisfaction comes from building and using your signature strengths.”

Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman - YouTube
review by Brian Johnson
“Habits of thinking need not be forever. One of the most signi
in psychology in the last twenty years is that individuals can change how
they think.” - Martin Seligman
“Learned optimism is not a rediscovery of the ‘power of positive thinking.’ … Changing the
destructive things you say to yourself when you experience the setbacks that life deals all of us is
the central skill of optimism.”
“There are three crucial dimensions to your explanatory style:
- Permanence: Is it likely to continue? Is it permanent or temporary?
- Good: pessimist things is temporary, optimists things is permanent
- Bad: pessimist things is permanent, optimists things is temporary
- Pervasiveness: Is it reflective of your whole life? Is it “universal” or is it “specific”?
- Good: pessimist: fluke, optimists: universal
- Bad: pessimist: universal, optimists: fluke
- Personalization: Internal or external?
- Good: pessimist: external, optimists: internal
- Bad: pessimist: internal, optimists: external
“Unlike dieting, learned optimism is easy to maintain once you start. Once you get into the
habit of disputing negative beliefs, your daily life will run much better, and you will feel much
happier.”
Characteristics for job success:
- Aptitude
- Motivation
- Optimism
"Success requires persistence, the ability to not give up in the face of failure. I believe that
optimistic explanatory style is the key to persistence.” - Martin Seligman
