"The experience of positive emotions - of pride and joy, of satisfaction and affection - is a large part of what makes a life worth living. This book brings together many of the world's foremost experts to summarize the scientific state of the art. An essential volume for researchers and students alike." - Daniel Gilbert, PhD, Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology, Harvard University

"Understandably, psychopathology research has traditionally focused on negative emotions like anxiety and sadness. The crucial role of positive emotions is in this extraordinary collection of essays explored in depth by leading researchers who illuminate the complex relationship between positive emotions and mental health." - Angela Duckworth, PhD, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania

"This edited volume imparts a valuable message: The pursuit of positive emotion - and its experience in the 'wrong' time, place, or amount - can seriously backfire. Here, the leading stars overturn conventional wisdom on the role of positive emotions in psychopathology and in our daily lives." - Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD, Professor and Vice Chair of Psychology, University of California Riverside
