Feeling Good The Science of Well-Being
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 5/5 from 2 reviews A revealing and well-researched bookThis book has helped me to explore the different influences that affect our happiness in life, and it has clarified what used to only be vague intuitions for me. Clearly Dr. Cloninger has spent most of his life exploring the fundamental issues that reach us all. I think this book gives us a preview of a new approach that many people will soon use in art and science. A revolutionary future classic, here todayDr. Cloninger's work has got to be the best non-fiction book I have read. This masterpiece is not only a truly revolutionary paradigm shift in psychology and psychiatry, but also accessible to everyone. I think anyone would have been impressed if he had managed to synthesis so many fields at all, but to have done so while keeping it in a language that everyone can understand is simply amazing. This book pulls together the most current research in hugely diverse academic fields and ties it together with history, philosophy, the classics, and spirituality. At last a book that puts forth a coherent understanding of a rich and full inner life that is balanced and not reduced by science. I think this book articulates, in a sublime way, what so many people of today are looking for. This is not just a modernization of the great classics or a summary/categorization of them but a truly creative leap forward. I am sure this is what early readers must have felt when psychology was first discerned and debated as a science. But here in this book, what was once just a dream of a happy life coupled with a clear and profound understanding of the human psyche is at last illuminated: a science of well-being. This book is what everyone in university who took a psych class; looking for something, trying to understand them self better searched for. Tools to discern and decode their feelings, reasoning, intimations, and intuitions. A way to sow all we already have into a rich inner life; leading to a happy life, a good life... of well-being. All this while still respecting that each person has their own unique, yet perennial way to develop; guided by there own psyche. What is within this book transformed my life and I am sure it can do the same for anyone who gives it the time to read it. See for yourself and pass it on. | ||||||||||||||||||
