Readings

To maximize our shared knowledge base going in to the institute it will be useful for us to all have done some readings in common. All participants should by now have bought a copy of the Handbook of Positive Psychology (save your receipt!). Some readings will be taken from the handbook, and others are available on the web.

We would like everyone to read these articles in the Handbook:

--Ch. 1: Seligman: Positive Psychology, Positive Prevention, and Positive Therapy

--Ch. 8: Watson: Positive affectivity

--Ch. 32: McCullough: The psychology of forgiveness

--Ch. 51: Lopez et al.: Putting positive psychology in a multicultural setting.

In addition, Please read at least three other articles in the Handbook – whatever appeals to you.

Also, each faculty member and each workshop convener may ask that one or two articles be read in advance. Here is the list of all faculty speakers, and all workshops, and the reading they have assigned. This is the final list of required readings; some speakers or workshop leaders may bring copies of articles to read at the institute, but this is all you need to read beforehand.
