This book carries a powerful message. Most problems in life arise from a lack of awareness of the false assumption, either due to a natural ignorance or due to social conditioning, that difficulties and problems are not permanent, pervasive and personal. Of course, Eastern wisdom, especially Buddhism has always kept impermanence as a key aspect. And an exclusive stress on impermanence does liberate one into the great Nirvana. If, however, one takes the view that Reality embraces both Being and non-Being, admitting a role even to the sleep of ignorance, one needs strategies for the fulfillment of life and not only for the renunciation of it. Here's where the western self-improvement movement immensely compliments Eastern thought. Along with books like Maxwell Maltz's Psycho Cybernetics, and Nathaniel Brandon's works on self-esteem, Martin Seligman's book is one of the earliest. Awakening this insight within is the first step to massive, congruent change. Once this limitation has been disengaged it is mush easier to attain leverage by resolving limiting beliefs. Seligman brings a freshness of outlook to issues associated with the three Ps by means of numerous references and carefully designed exercises. This is a life-changing book. It restores faith in and, a much-awaited meaning into, the human being as the conscious architect of his/her own destiny. Read this book to find out for yourself.
