Movies are a powerful and enjoyable medium for learning. This book shows exactly how to use film to learn about the concepts and the real-life benefits of positive psychology, both for self-improvement and in classes or seminars.Positive psychology is a science concerned with strengths and virtues, particularly those that lead to fulfillment, connectedness, and meaning in life. Drawing on the authors' vast experience of teaching, movie discussion groups, and with patients, "Positive Psychology at the Movies" combines research-based advice on how to improve life and flourish with clear explanations of the scientific background - using movies to exemplify, illuminate, and inspire.Positive psychology and its "founding fathers" Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Christopher Peterson, and Martin Seligman have identified 6 "virtues" and 24 "strengths" that are nearly universal across cultures. This book leads systematically through them, in each case outlining key concepts, relevant research, an exemplar from a key movie, other movie portrayals (including international cinema), antitheses, key enablers and inhibitors, practical applications, and summary. Readers or classes are invited to consider key issues - and the book also provides a syllabus for positive psychology courses based on movies."Positive Psychology at the Movies" is uniquely suited for: individuals or groups wanting to understand the concepts of positive psychology and thus improve their own lives; and for teaching the concepts and practical benefits of positive psychology, in university/college, work, or other settings.
