Excellent book
I had read this author's book "Learned Optimism" which was oriented to adults. The Optimistic Child gives an emphasis to the parent-child relationship instead which is a great addition to his prior work. I found it a little more technical in its writing than the adult ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 1995
A fascinating read for students of psychology
I enjoyed this book but I have to admit to a prejudice. I am a huge fan of Seligman's books and grab everything I can get my hands on.
This book is well argued and provides compelling evidence of the phenomenom of 'Learned Helpnessness' which can lead to depression, ...

Genocide and violence
This book adds significantly to the far too small literature attempting to explain today's worldwide epidemic of genocide and ethnic violence. My generation believed we had ended all that by defeating the Nazis. Not so; there have been a couple of dozen major ...
