Title: Helpful, but Seligman's other books may be more helpful
Review: This book reads like an encyclopedia, with solid information regarding numerous topics such as anxiety, phobias, obsession, as well as sex, dieting and alcohol. A better starting point for many people might be his books, "Learned Optimism" and "Authentic Happiness". Learned Optimism summarizes many experiments and studies, and provides the sound theoretical basis for Positive Psychology. This provides the credibility you may wish before you proceed further. Authentic Happiness builds on that theory.
