Martin Seligman is a gift. Thank you for all your good work in the science and psychology of wellbeing.

[@KatrinaDancer]

So you support torturing dogs? Look up "learned helplessness" 🐶

[@jagermaestro1]

Weird you desire human feces as a gift.

[@jagermaestro1]

@Jason Do you? No. No you don't. Doubt you could even find a study. Do you even have a degree?

[@jagermaestro1]

@Jason Honestly you're incredibly embarrassing. Is this real? It's like I'm typing to a 12 year old.

[@rvl7635]

Can we talk k about his experiments on dogs in the '60s? I definitely would not consider him a gift. That is just my personal opinion though.

[@claudelebel49]

Positivity cannot be forced. Self-awareness is primal and cannot be purchased. There is a natural joy that comes from being at one with oneself free of denial in any form.

[@gorazionelson]

but I'm sure that positivity can be learnt as well as a skill to be happy. I've been practicing a number of the positive psychology strategies for year but I acquired them outside this branch of psychology, Seligman and his colleagues did a Good Job systemising models, exercising and presenting The System. I'm rigorously convinced that happiness (better to say "eudaimonia") is an acquirable skill and only systematic approach can delivery any of the benefits at all. Positive Psychology for me is a systematic way to get an essential skills to live eudamonic life.

[@theyetti90]

Claude, dharma doesn't force or buy self awareness, it allows one to see it by creating favorable conditions, just as the wind blows the clouds away from the ever-shining sun.

Martin Seligman at the Happiness and its Causes Conference, a favourite!

[@keepit1oo807]

This deserves a thumbs up!!

[@beldonhuang]

Such a great speaker and pioneer of psychological, positive wellbeing

[@shereeh8566]

My new purpose is to study Positive Psychology. I appreciate your work

[@parthabose1658]

My guru. You saved my life.

[@Maxbella108]

This is Dylan Jones and I am using my coaches laptop because my computer is getting fixed. this video is about being positive; positive psychology. I find it hard to be positive when I am in so much pain. PERMA the letter E is what I am working on now at this time in my life; trying to find what strengths I have but it is hard b/c I can't move around very well but PERMA does make sense and it was a good video to watch and to try and change my mindset when the pain becomes too much.

[@powongick]

I am using this lecture during my Positivi-TEA discussion with my seniors at the residency that I work at. Its part of our love and well being theme this month

[@MrRatnadeepseal]

Thank You So Much

Positive psychology answers the question of how to make things better.

[@cindyfigueroa]

Thanks for this great video :)

[@khadijabtmn5902]

My happiest moments was in 3 attached things, an envious creature did destroy 90% of the first 60%or more of the second part or all the third part. Thinking that he is smart and doing things well. Inshallah like this distraction

[@deannasander7668]

Exercise: Think of what you don't like to do at work. Me: being there

[@beckyhuber8137]

Martin Seligman is very informative ,but was very disappointed in the lack of the power point.

[@johnrobbins9928]

Show Us WellBeing In This Moment What does its energy look like ? What does it feel like? ( Perpetually Expanding Goodness, Growing, Within, From The Center Out, Like The Sun, From Within The Body, like a sloooow.....deep breath growing towards its complete & satisfied fullness, ) Such is the feeling of wellbeing. John A. Robbins

could have been better camera work to see the slides whilst he was pointing ... outstanding otherwise!

Interesting

[@jburckhardt]

I took the test and my greatest strength is honesty, so what do I do with that?

[@mr.geniusish]

where do i find the test?

[@edenlifeonearth]

Its all very well saying every human being can say yes to PERMA, but how? I think we know most of these things but the sad reality is : we humans can't do it. It's like the diet schemes he talked about at the beginning: we all know we need to eat healthily and do exercise but we can't sustain it. It'd be great to give us some ideas as to how to incorporate these and how to make sustained changes. Thanks.

[@berglendurch]

Start with the strength test at authentichappiness.org And then you can start exploring where to start

[@maryrintei941]

Great

[@rubyv3901]

Can someone explain me about flourishing?, i have seen a lots video about flourishing and still don't get it

[@kathleengainor8532]

Prospering, growing, consciousness expanding, giving and receivingwith a healthy balance

[@GLORYWIELDERS]

One of the saddest things is that they never showed the slides on this video?? 😖

[@williamstandifer7015]

How exactly do you measure strength in correlation to trauma

[@JuliaMaclean-wm7oz]

Just acknowledging you went through trauma and recognizing it. Just recognizing it within is a huge step that so many don't even get to that level of self awareness in their life. ( Sadly). unfortunately it's tricky I believe it stays the rest of your life. Very difficult to self diagnose cause people lived/survived with it in being part of their DNA, and it definitely isn't recognized or understood buy society. It's new we are addressing trauma. Doctor Gaber Mate I believe was the first to really study it and share with the world.

[@JuliaMaclean-wm7oz]

I on the other hand after doing my research cause of Dr Matés book and podcasts... I am way more understanding of others who suffer knowing what trauma does.

Every Century the "wigs" give us a plant

[@piposcat]

A man that electrocuted and tortured puppies giving a 30 minute talk on happiness! Quite ironic and horrible.

[@KatrinaDancer]

Martin Seligman is disgusting!!! He should be in jail. He conducted experiments on dogs, giving them electrical shocks while he watched them whine. Look up "learned helplessness." He's an embarrassment.

[@Jason-Moon]

I'm glad I found this comment. I appreciate you for this. I'm here because someone referred to this man as the father of modern psychology. I sure hope not. I thought Freud was bad enough. Torturing animals is one of the clearest signs of disturbing pathologies known to psychology. Good grief. What a world.

[@fredparker7326]

Alright. How do you suggest we change that? What do you recommend in place of that?

[@jagermaestro1]

@Jason Wrong. You know next to nothing about what you're talking about. Your replies make virtual 0 sense and have no basis I reality. Martin Seligman is a pointless hack.

[@jagermaestro1]

@@fredparker7326 Change what Fred? Pointless research using bad statistics? Don't fund it and blackball people who push it.
