POSITIVITY Groundbreaking Research Reveals How to Embrace the Hidden Strength of Positive Emotions, Overcome Negativity, and Thrive

The waves of possibility in Kimberly Farr's soothing narration are palpable from start to finish in this compelling guide to positive psychology. Her flawless reading embodies an impressive combination of 1950s optimism, maternal confidence, and determined helpfulness—all of which fit perfectly with Dr. Fredrickson's deft blend of scholarship and heartfelt guidance. A leader in the science of positive emotions, she unfolds research and its context not as an intellectual endeavor, but as a prelude to helping listeners expand their personal control and satisfaction. She proves how positivity broadens the heart and mind, and builds resources for the future. Her clear writing, avoidance of intellectual arrogance, and familiarity with the human condition make this one of the best audios ever from an academic psychologist. T.W.
