Excellent. I posted about Dr. Seligman the other day (http://www.brainmenu.com/post/2008/10/12/no-biological-limit-for-a-persons-happiness.aspx) which was the first time I had heard of Positive Psychology.
The term “Positive Psychology” sounds a bit odd to me and my first thought was could you trust someone who sounds like they will always be looking from the positive side of things? But actually when I read more about what it was, I found it interesting and helpful.
I hadn’t seen the video - thanks for posting it.

This was well timed for me right now. Last year I tried to navigate Seligman’s website but found it difficult and confusing. This video presents his ideas very well and very engagingly. I have often been able to attain flow in the work I’m doing on my father’s project. I believe I can elevate it (good life) to the level of meaningful life, with greater attentiveness to being mindful of what I am doing and why. Thank you for posting this.
