Description
The Living a Good Life eGuide is packed with tips, ideas and inspiration for living a good life.
In Living a Good Life, we explore answers to the question: “Within the framework of the simple living lifestyle, how can we best utilize the teachings of positive psychology to achieve happiness and flourishing lives?†This question is answered from many different viewpoints and from a wide array of research (with links for further reading).
Positive Psychology, as explained in Living a Good Life, focuses on P.E.R.M.A which are elements free people choose to do in their lives. P.E.R.M.A is an acronym for
P: Positive Emotions
E: Engagement
R: Relationships
M: Meaning
A: Accomplishment
Author Carol Ann Preibis combines the principles of Positive Psychology with Simple Living and Minimalism; along with five easy steps we can take to realign our own lives to be meaningful. Haven't you ever asked yourself why you are here or what is the purpose of your life? You will want to explore some of the research found in this book.
Preibis ties together our physical and mental health showing that how we choose to live our lives will affect us in more ways than we previously knew. A few examples include:
· A life of adversity actually sets the body up for infections.
· State of flow reduces boredom, anxiety and helps you achieve a passion for what you are doing.
· A life of meaning (rather than a life of seeking pleasures) leads us to stronger immune systems.
· Optimism also plays a big role in our lives.
The eGuide is divided into three sections:
1. Living a Good Life. Learn what is means to "live a good life." Explore some scientifically proven ways to achieve authentic happiness.
2. Role Models and Teachers. Be inspired by people who are living good lives themselves. This is a very special part of the book in which we are introduced to Heroes. These are the people who have worked through their challenges, against all odds, to find a meaningful life that makes them happy and at the same time gives back to others.
3. The Positivity Project. The positivity project will provide some experiential activities. These activities are intended to foster positivity ... to improve your positivity ratio, and to create upward spirals of the heart. If it all sounds a bit mysterious, be assured that it's actually quite simple.
Preibis makes the point throughout the guide that a good life is not one lived in isolation, that other people do matter and that it is important for us to recognize this to find our happiness and our meaning, Her heroes are the perfect examples to make this point.
This is not a guide you read once and shelve. This guide is a handy reference, not a self-help book, to return to again and again to help you focus your journey to Live Your Good Life.
