Description

Character Strengths Matter: How to Live a Full Life brings to life the 24 character strengths identified by the Values in Action project. These are qualities valued across time and around the world, such as creative, authentic, and loving. By exploring how these strengths are used in real-life stories, you can discover your own strengths and how to use them to live a happier life. Research shows that using character strengths in new ways can lead to lasting happiness. This book provides ideas for using your strengths in new ways, along with short passages to try on particular strengths. The concept of acting 'as if' you have a strength already is also explored, a technique known to actors and elite athletes. With contributions from over 30 authors, including experts in the field of positive psychology, this book offers a unique and inspiring approach to personal growth.
