There has recently been an explosion of interest in positive
psychology and the teaching of well-being and 'happiness' in the PSHE
world in schools and many teachers are looking for clear information
on how to implement these potentially life-changing ideas in the
classroom. This book provides an introduction to the theory of
positive psychology and a practical guide on how to implement the
theory in (primarily secondary) schools. The American psychologist and
writer Martin Seligman, well known for his work on the idea of
'learned helplessness', has more recently been working in the field of
positive psychology. He has led training in resilience in a number of
UK local authorities. Wellington College, where Ian Morris is head of
philosophy, religion and PSHE, is among the first UK schools to
introduce a formal well-being and happiness curriculum developed by
the author.
