The definitive, practical handbook on positive psychology and character strengths for practitioners working in coaching, psychology, education, and business - start using strengths today!
This book is the epitome of positive psychology: it takes the "backbone"
of positive psychology - character strengths - and builds a
substantive bridge between the science and practice. Working with
client´s (and our own) character strengths boosts wellbeing, fosters
resilience, improves relationships, and creates strong, supportive
cultures in our practices, classrooms, and organizations. This unique
guide brings together the vast experience of the author with the science
and the practice of positive psychology in such a way that both
new and experienced practitioners will benefit. New practitioners will
learn about the core concepts of character and signature strengths
and how to fine-tune their approach and troubleshoot. Experienced
practitioners will deepen their knowledge about advanced topics such
as strengths overuse and collisions, hot button issues, morality, and
integrating strengths with savoring, flow, and mindfulness. Hands-on
practitioner tips throughout the book provide valuable hints on how to
take a truly strengths-based approach.
The 24 summary sheets spotlighting each of the universal character
strengths are an indispensable resource for client sessions, succinctly
summarizing the core features of and research on each strength.
70 evidence-based step-by-step activity handouts can be given to
clients to help them develop character strengths awareness and use,
increase resilience, set and meet goals, develop positive relationships,
and find meaning and engagement in their daily lives.
