—Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence
"Seligman takes the best, most recent science in psychology and applies it to our oldest, most basic human questions—how can we be happy? And how can we be good? His book is ground-breaking, heart-lifting and, most importantly, deeply useful. With pun intended, I’m optimistic about its success."
—Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia

—Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
"The Constitution may guarantee the right to pursue happiness, but it doesn’t offer clear paths to follow through the wilderness. Seligman does. By turns smart, funny, irreverent, and insightful, he is the perfect guide, someone who can make such a difference in life, and lives. A world hungry for happiness will love his new book."
—Diane Ackerman, author of A Natural History of the Senses
