The International Handbook of Positive Psychology: A Global Perspective on the Science of Positive Human Existence

The International Handbook of Positive Psychology: A Global Perspective on the Science of Positive Human Existence is a definitive and comprehensive reference that brings together cutting-edge research, theory, and practice in the rapidly expanding field of positive psychology. This book offers a truly global perspective, integrating contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, and cultural experts to explore how human strengths, wellbeing, resilience, and flourishing manifest across diverse contexts, cultures, and life experiences.

Unlike traditional psychology texts that focus primarily on pathology and disorder, this handbook emphasizes the science of human thriving. It delves into foundational concepts such as happiness, optimism, resilience, character strengths, meaning and purpose, positive relationships, and positive institutions. Importantly, it situates these concepts within global frameworks — showing how cultural values, social norms, and collective wellbeing shape and are shaped by positive psychological processes.
