This is very well said. What a great speech by Martin Seligman. Besides curing diseases and diagnosing psychological diseases, psychology is just as capable of highlighting individual strengths and improving our lives for the better, just as Martin Seligman is doing. This is the kind of psychology and psychologist we need!

Martin Seligman is a gifted individual who has done and still does a great service to mankind with enormous impact. His work is a blessing for our understanding of the well-being of people. It is amazing to see his work unfold knowing he and his cornerstone work will be referenced for the duration of mankind's future.

After 10 years of being in self development world, very happy to open for myself Martin Seligman. Excellent and simple content and ideas and already feeling a lot better. Thank you

The more people who could achieve the most well being the better off everyone and our world is. Working towards that end is a truly noble and inspiring mission.

I am in my first immersion into positive psychology topics. This speech fit very well on my personal situation like human beings, immigrant, friend, colleague and partner. Sometimes we are focused on trying to solve our situations looking at them as problems and we avoid realize that the best solution has been always in our hands: just be happy by your own. Every aspect of our life has a face how show us how happier we can be. This is a very inspirational and academical speech done by Dr. Seligman, easy to understand how the positive psychology and PERMA can change our way to see the life

Thank you for giving us one more optional paper in the course of psychology 😺

Deeply appreciated. I am pausing to conceive my future with gratitude.

This is amazing, motivating speech that inspires me to be a better, happier person. Then I go outside and walk thru my neighborhood ...

An eye opener, a goog resource.

He looks very positively happy man

This lecture is awesome

Very right whatever people do doesn't matter,a human should try to live in present and try to give the best in present rather then thinking and worrying about past and future. Ist impression from first 10 minutes.

Martin saligman is a gift to the humanity. He is considered as a father of Positive psychology. I have joined his program on Positive Psychology.

Martin Seligman's model on PERMA is also summarized in this short vid: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqhhdciW0sXKZXk.html

action for happiness? really but you invited this dog abuser over? action for happiness for who we want, clearly not dogs. is more fitting. why would you host this guy In 1967, Martin Seligman, one of the founders of Positive Psychology and his research group carried out a fascinating, if somewhat morally dubious experiment in his quest to understand the origins of depression. In this experiment, three groups of dogs were confined in harnesses. The dogs in group 1 were simply placed in their harnesses then released after a period of time, but the dogs in groups 2 and 3 did not have it so easy. Instead they were subjected to electric shocks that could only be stopped by pulling a lever. The difference was that the the dogs in group 2 had access to the lever, whereas the dogs in group 3 did not. Instead, the dogs in group 3 would only receive relief from the shocks when their pair in group 2 pressed the lever, with the result that they experienced the shocks as random events.

I liked this all until I realised there's still something missing for me. I can apply the PERMA model, (with an extreme 'for instance' just to make my point), to someone who makes a living by producing (and thoroughly enjoys the prospect of using) fatally toxic organophosphates like Sarin and VX. They could score highly on any measure of positive psychology, engagement, relationships, meaning and purpose and achievement. Is the harm, death and misery caused to others by their actions in the equation anywhere? The same for anyone creating and driving industries that are contributing to pollution, climate change, desertification, deforestation, soil degradation, salination of ground water, extinction of species, exploitation of human labour etc etc. Where is the connection to the biosphere in this model? Where is the responsibility to the well-being of future generations of human and other-than-human life hundreds and thousands of years into the future? Without them how do we create a 'happier world'? I'm also feeling a little uncomfortable with Mr Seligman's opinion on inequality (he did say we probably wouldn't like it) - in that the perception of the inequality is the problem and not the inequality itself. It has been in the news this week that 8 individual people have a combined personal wealth equivalent to that of half of the world's entire human population. Are we to believe that if we can be persuaded / convinced that that is OK (perhaps by encouraging us to be grateful for their philanthropy), that it is indeed OK for an economic system to exist that permits a tiny, tiny number of people to accrue such gigantic wealth and the global reach of individual power that comes with it? My preference is to live by the ethics and principles of PERMACULTURE which have the same effect while also addressing the concerns I have voiced above too.

I know this is probably counterintuitive to this post but this is so boring and dry...

He's mentioning politicians, as if they are not evil.

It dose not solve hard problem of conciousness

Boring!!! 😴

Appalling, here we have someone standing up explaining how laboratory animals are dealt electric shocks in such a brazen manner. How's that for positive thinking. Deeply disturbing, disappointing, patronising style of delivery. Much of this has been proven otherwise, heavily criticised and justifiably so.
