En lugar de centrarse, como la psicología tradicional, en el estudio y tratamiento de la enfermedad mental, la Psicología Positiva pone el foco en las fortalezas humanas, las que nos permiten aprender, disfrutar, ser alegres, generosos, solidarios y optimistas. El doctor Martin E. P. Seligman, eminente investigador de la psique humana y fundador de esta corriente científica, sostiene que la auténtica felicidad no sólo es posible, sino que—lejos de depender de la suerte y de los genes—puede cultivarse identificando y utilizando muchas de las fortalezas y rasgos que ya poseemos.

Do you struggle with your relationship with food? Are you tired of chasing diets and feeling like a failure?

Our lives are minefields of misinformation. Stories, statistics and studies lie to us on a daily basis. Not only this but, as Professor Alex Edmans reveals, our brains lie to us too. He argues that we need to acknowledge and understand the role that our own human biases play in interpreting and digesting the information that we consume. It's only when we do, that we can actively resist being manipulated, and make informed decisions that improve our lives.

This tantalizing book is based on the pioneering work of Claude Levi-Strauss, who postulated that myths are links between nature and culture. Shoham enlarges this concept and claims that myth in the form of a mythogene, the structural longings and experiences of the individual as projected onto mythology, links history and transcendence, the individual and society, and consciousness and energy-matter.
