    This is very well said. What a great speech by Martin Seligman. Besides curing diseases and diagnosing psychological diseases, psychology is just as capable of highlighting individual strengths and improving our lives for the better, just as Martin Seligman is doing. This is the kind of psychology and psychologist we need!

    I am in my first immersion into positive psychology topics. This speech fit very well on my personal situation like human beings, immigrant, friend, colleague and partner. Sometimes we are focused on trying to solve our situations looking at them as problems and we avoid realize that the best solution has been always in our hands: just be happy by your own. Every aspect of our life has a face how show us how happier we can be. This is a very inspirational and academical speech done by Dr. Seligman, easy to understand how the positive psychology and PERMA can change our way to see the life

    Very right whatever people do doesn't matter,a human should try to live in present and try to give the best in present rather then thinking and worrying about past and future.

    In 1967, Martin Seligman, one of the founders of Positive Psychology and his research group carried out a fascinating, if somewhat morally dubious experiment in his quest to understand the origins of depression. In this experiment, three groups of dogs were confined in harnesses. The dogs in group 1 were simply placed in their harnesses then released after a period of time, but the dogs in groups 2 and 3 did not have it so easy. Instead they were subjected to electric shocks that could only be stopped by pulling a lever. The difference was that the the dogs in group 2 had access to the lever, whereas the dogs in group 3 did not. Instead, the dogs in group 3 would only receive relief from the shocks when their pair in group 2 pressed the lever, with the result that they experienced the shocks as random events.

  • @millycarmichael9331

    I liked this all until I realised there's still something missing for me. I can apply the PERMA model, (with an extreme 'for instance' just to make my point), to someone who makes a living by producing (and thoroughly enjoys the prospect of using) fatally toxic organophosphates like Sarin and VX. They could score highly on any measure of positive psychology, engagement, relationships, meaning and purpose and achievement. Is the harm, death and misery caused to others by their actions in the equation anywhere?
    The same for anyone creating and driving industries that are contributing to pollution, climate change, desertification, deforestation, soil degradation, salination of ground water, extinction of species, exploitation of human labour etc etc. Where is the connection to the biosphere in this model? Where is the responsibility to the well-being of future generations of human and other-than-human life hundreds and thousands of years into the future? Without them how do we create a 'happier world'?
    I'm also feeling a little uncomfortable with Mr Seligman's opinion on inequality (he did say we probably wouldn't like it) - in that the perception of the inequality is the problem and not the inequality itself. It has been in the news this week that 8 individual people have a combined personal wealth equivalent to that of half of the world's entire human population. Are we to believe that if we can be persuaded / convinced that that is OK (perhaps by encouraging us to be grateful for their philanthropy), that it is indeed OK for an economic system to exist that permits a tiny, tiny number of people to accrue such gigantic wealth and the global reach of individual power that comes with it?
    My preference is to live by the ethics and principles of PERMACULTURE which have the same effect while also addressing the concerns I have voiced above too.

      Fantastic points Milly. I really agree with you, i dont think theres a simple solution to Equality. It depends on the context and the cause/effect. Generally though equality is a positive thing. in terms of wealth accumulation especially if it prevents the poor from seeking health treatment, education or food.

      @DylanPieper Před 7 lety +2

      It's true. Seligman studies the science of happiness wherein ethics are relative. You can follow PERMA as a Buddhist with their code of ethics or a Nazi with their code of ethics. Both the Buddhist and the Nazi could potentially live happy lives. However positive psychology shouldn't be confused with the greater human flourishing. It is a scientific model for well-being that is still in its formative stage. It contributes to helping us see the big picture of human flourishing but is not the big picture itself.

      It's only a model. Use it if it helps, but use another model where this one falls short.

    • @MrNamenamenamename
      @MrNamenamenamename Před rokem

      He did say that positive psych is aimed at connecting individuals with others. One could make the argument it is necessary for ones work to not harm others in that pretense. Out side of that you are very correct in that perma can be applied to self centeredness and disregard for others.

    Appalling, here we have someone standing up explaining how laboratory animals are dealt electric shocks in such a brazen manner. How's that for positive thinking. Deeply disturbing, disappointing, patronising style of delivery. Much of this has been proven otherwise, heavily criticised and justifiably so.
