Dr
Martin Seligman, founder of the Positive Psychology movement
and best-selling author of ‘Learned Optimism’
& ‘Authentic Happiness’, will be holding special
events in Sydney and Melbourne next February.
 These
in depth, half day seminars will cover Dr Seligman’s
revolutionary work in this field. Dr Seligman will be discussing:
• What is positive psychology?
• Why it matters in society and workplaces today
• The science of positive emotion
• How can we make people happier?
• Engagement and peak performance
Learn how positive psychology is transforming the lives of
people and workplaces around the world.
Positive people are more engaged, happier and optimistic.
From a business perspective, positive workers have fewer sick
days, higher levels of self efficacy, perform better and are
more determined and motivated at work. Learn what it takes
to apply Dr Seligman's theory of 'Authentic Happiness' to
your life or the culture of your organisation.
Dr Martin Seligman is at the forefront of this ground breaking
new science – this is a truly unique opportunity to
hear an inspirational speaker discuss how positive psychology
effects you and those around you.

 About
Dr Seligman
“It
became my mission seven years ago to turn the science of psychology
and the practice of psychology to this great question of can
human beings be happier and how can we learn how”. Dr
Martin Seligman
Martin E.P. Seligman, Ph.D. is currently Fox
Leadership Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology
at the University of Pennsylvania.
His work includes more than 20 books and 170 articles on motivation
and personality. Among his better-known works are Learned Optimism
(Knopf, 1991), What You Can Change & What You Can't (Knopf,
1993), The Optimistic Child (Houghton Mifflin, 1995), Helplessness
(Freeman, 1975, 1993) and Abnormal Psychology (Norton, 1982,
1988, 1995, with David Rosenhan).
His work has been featured on the front page of the New York
Times, Time, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report, the Reader's
Digest, Redbook, Parents, Fortune, Family Circle, and many other
popular magazines. He has been a spokesman for the science and
practice of psychology on numerous television and radio shows.
In 1996 Dr. Seligman was elected President of the American Psychological
Association, by the largest vote in modern history. His primary
aim as APA President was to join practice and science together
so both might flourish, a goal that has dominated his own life
as a psychologist.
Since 2000 his main mission has been the promotion of the field
of Positive Psychology. This discipline includes the study of
positive emotion, positive character traits, and positive institutions.
As the science behind these becomes more firmly grounded, Dr.
Seligman is now turning his attention to training Positive Psychologists,
individuals whose practice will make the world a happier place,
in a way that parallels clinical psychologists having made the
world a less unhappy place.
