Reddit mentions of Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-being

Positive psychology is a field within "regular" psychology, and is a discipline that concerns itself with "The study of what constitutes the pleasant life, the engaged life, and the meaningful life". The positive psychology movement has been spearheaded by Martin Seligman, former head of American Psychological Association. He has several books on Amazon.

A good place to start would probably be Flourish by Martin Seligman.

If you want to dig further I can recommend [Character Strengths and Virtues] (https://www.amazon.com/Character-Strengths-Virtues-Handbook-Classification-ebook/dp/B0054WFG4Y/). I think this book is great, though it is expensive.

Another good one is Positive Psychology in Practice: Promoting Human Flourishing in Work, Health, Education, and Everyday Life, which is a collection of academic articles on positive psychology.

Edit: The wikipedia page also has some stuff that might be interesting.

Whats that? I just copied the link from a google search the resulted in that amazon link.
