Authentic Happiness

I have followed Dr. Martin Seligman from the University of Pennsylvania for years. He is a leading researcher, if not THE leading researcher, on optimism and pessimism.
His website is:
https://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/
I encourage you to take a look at it.
As of today I am an official associate member of the International Positive Psychology Association. Ta da!!
My interest in that membership is greater access to their research and educational materials so I can digest it and share the good stuff with you.
Today I ran across an itemon their site about a new book by William Damon and Anne Colby - The Power of Ideals: The Real Story of Moral Choice.
Earthquakes will bring some humility to you if you don't already have it. Most of us don't humble ourselves enough on a routine basis. I don't think we choose not to I just don't think we think about it until disaster strikes.
Anyway, there is a link for a humility assessment along with the description of the book:

It only takes a few minutes, see what you think.
