How do we thrive in our behaviors and experiences? Positive neuroscience research illuminates the brain mechanisms that enable human flourishing. Supported by the John Templeton Foundation's Positive Neuroscience Project, which Martin E. P. Seligman established in 2008, Positive Neuroscience provides an intersection between neuroscience and positive psychology. In this edited volume, leading researchers describe the neuroscience of social bonding, altruism, and the capacities for resilience and creativity. Part I (Social Bonds) describes the mechanisms that enable humans to connect with one another. Part II (Altruism) focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying the human ability and willingness to confer costly benefits on others. Part III (Resilience and Creativity) examines the mechanisms by which human brains overcome adversity, create, and discover. Specific topics include: a newly discovered nerve type that appears to be specialized for emotional communication; the effects of parenting on the male brain; how human altruism differs from that of other primates; the neural features of extraordinary altruists who have donated kidneys to strangers; and distinctive patterns of brain wiring that endow some people with exceptional musical abilities. Accessible to a broad academic audience, from advanced undergraduates to senior scholars, these subjects have generated a fascinating and highly convergent set of ideas and results, shaping our understanding of human nature.

Self Sustain Your Brain. Grow A Positive Mind. A positive mind is absolutely your most important comprehensive health resource. Your brain has an inherent optimism bias. Consider how much negativity it takes to undermine that bias and the effect of changing our basic nature so that we are more negative than positive. Do you think this could affect the health of your memory? Your brain runs most efficiently on positivity. Our greatest waste of energy is the poor use we make of psychic energy. The greatest energy crisis is the non-use and misuse of the energy of the brain. Self sustain your brain. It is a vast resource that is continuing to evolve. How we cooperate with the evolution of our brain determines our health on a primal level. If negativity is in the way of that evolution by narrowing the options and choices of the brain and rigidifying, the lean toward disease is far greater. If it is the job of your brain to "get the larger picture" as you grow older, if you dig in and become rigid and narrow, why wouldn't the loss of wasted energy express itself in the loss of the capacity for memory? Half of your brain, the entire right hemisphere, is for the purpose of novelty, of integrating and organizing so that new information can be lateralized, passed over to the left hemisphere. You will learn how to live in an UpSpiral that actually raises the level of your moods, your emotional states, and your everyday experience of "feeling good." This UpSpiral increases your openness to new information, to novelty. As you increase in growing your positive mind, it will move in the direction of increasing the meaning in your life. At the core of positivity is the way we make meaning, called our meaning-making system. New developmental stages of meaning-making emerge throughout our entire life span. Growing a positive mind greatly enhances the move into and through these stages of meaning-making. When that growth is thwarted, aliveness is dulled and negativity takes its toll on health. Our brains are meant to evolve into higher and higher stages of more complex reasoning. This book is about the growth that enhances those developmental stages of meaning-making. A positive mind also enhances the ability to navigate the transitions that exist between these stages. This is not just theory, it is not simply insight, but the "how to" in language anyone can understand. "Growing The Positive Mind" is a guide to becoming emotionally more agile and flexible. It helps you recover from the learned non-use of positive emotion which affects everyone. We learn not to be positive by the small and large traumas of our lives. It is something like a stroke where we discover that what we thought was not workable is still there ready to spring to life. That is the potential for higher and higher levels of positive emotion that you learn in Dr. Larkin's Emotional Gym. Growing positive emotional muscle is actually something you can learn. and learning helps you manage your moods, your states of mind, and puts the control of positive emotion back into the hands of the reader rather than in the events of life outside the person. You can feel positive emotions simply because you decide you can. You don't have to have a reason. You can grow positive emotional muscle that is at your control, and this book tells you how. Each chapter is a strategy that is a "how to" of an overall process of change, that creates both a more positive mind but also creates the potential for deeper and more significant meaning-making in life. Your brain can always grow new neurons, your brain is always evolving and a positive mind insures the healthiest and easiest use of the energy of the brain to grow and evolve. Learn how from a book grounded in science and translated so simply that anyone can understand it. The research that grounds the book is contained in the rich bibliography.

Psychology and many of its subfields have seen a significant shift over the past 10-12 years toward a focus on hope, positive attributes, and character strengths through the positive psychology movement. This book provides a blueprint for a burgeoning subfield in neuropsychology—positive neuropsychology. It proposes an alternative, evidence-based perspective on neuropsychology that incorporates positive psychology principles and a focus on promotion of cognitive health. It synthesizes existing research and provides novel perspectives on promotion of cognitive health in clinical, nonclinical, and academic settings. This work is a resource and reference for neuropsychologists, allied professionals, and students who see the critical role neuropsychologists can play in maintaining, promoting, and being mindful of cognitive health.

Positive psychology—the study and promotion of character strengths, positive emotion, optimism, and resilience—has gained considerable momentum and support over the last 20 years. More recently, neuropsychology has begun to embrace related perspectives. In the first edition of Positive Neuropsychology, an extensive collection of perspectives from national leaders in neuropsychology clarified the importance of promoting cognitive health through various means. The present edition expands on the first edition, with four new chapters and updates of all previous chapters. Topics include the importance of physical, social, and intellectual engagement across the lifespan; nutrition and brain health; novel technologies used to maintain brain health and functional independence; compensating for and preventing cognitive limitations; and strategies to promote brain health in clinical and other settings. Chapters reveal not only the benefits of understanding cognitive health and optimal outcomes across the lifespan, but also emerging avenues for practitioners to expand their work into non-traditional settings. Bringing new dimensions to the neuroscience, wellness, and positive psychology literatures, Positive Neuropsychology will interest a wide range of academics and clinicians, including neuropsychologists, clinical and health psychologists, geriatricians, primary care physicians, cognitive neuroscientists, and other healthcare professionals.

Psychologists have long been aware that most people maintain an irrationally positive outlook on life—but why? Turns out, we might be hardwired that way. In this absorbing exploration, Tali Sharot—one of the most innovative neuroscientists at work today—demonstrates that optimism may be crucial to human existence. The Optimism Bias explores how the brain generates hope and what happens when it fails; how the brains of optimists and pessimists differ; why we are terrible at predicting what will make us happy; how emotions strengthen our ability to recollect; how anticipation and dread affect us; how our optimistic illusions affect our financial, professional, and emotional decisions; and more. Drawing on cutting-edge science, The Optimism Bias provides us with startling new insight into the workings of the brain and the major role that optimism plays in determining how we live our lives.

Positively Smarter brings together seven principles for connecting the science of neuroplasticity to practical strategies for enhancing the synergy of happiness, achievement, and physical well-being. Moving beyond common myths, the text builds an evidence-based paradigm to empower readers to take practical steps to move forward. Brings together current research on cognitive psychology, education (learning), and implications of neuroscience to suggest powerful ways to enhance the kind of cognitive function and productivity that leads to happiness and success Applies implications of current research showing that happiness is a skill and that positive affect can lead to higher levels of creative problem solving, productivity, achievement, and well-being Shares research and strategies for supporting physical activity and nutrition that may enhance neuroplasticity, cognitive performance, and positive affect Puts learners first and then brings in the science, presenting creative or adaptive strategies that can be applied in the real world Includes action assessments to guide readers in taking concrete steps to achieve the goals they set for themselves Identifies deeply held assumptions that innate talent, genes, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity mean that a significant percentage of the population lacks the neurocognitive potential to achieve at higher levels Draws on the authors’ research from a broad range of fields in order to maximize the positive impact of a synergistic approach
