Positive Psychology Across the Life Span provides an insight into how we are affected by the different stages of adult development and gives us the opportunity to change through choice rather than leaving change to chance.
The science of positive psychology offers a wealth of research and evidence-based interventions and shares insights into which habits and behaviours contribute to how to live a flourishing life. This book aims to extend that knowledge by introducing and incorporating key aspects of existential and humanistic psychology and explores positive psychology with a lifespan perspective. It goes beyond theory to look at practical application, with insightful reflective questions. Whilst acknowledging the differences and disagreements between some of the key figures in the subject areas of the book, it seeks to highlight the areas where there is agreement and congruence which have been previously overlooked or ignored.
The book will be essential reading for students and practitioners of positive psychology as well as other mental health professionals.

'What is this thing called growth and development? This book offers the best answers to date, based on a stunning integration of past and present realms of knowledge across disciplinary fields - not just subfields of psychology, but also literature, ancient mythology, and classic tales of human becoming. The book then moves to the realm of practice and application, seeking to distill how lives can be better lived. Guided by a profound humanism, it is hard to imagine a more valuable contribution than what these authors have assembled in this beautiful mosaic.'
Carol Ryff, Professor. University of Wisconsin-Madison
'This is a beautiful and timely book, one which not only embodies the spirit of the new waves of development in positive psychology, but truly helps it take wing and soar in new directions. Its focus on development throughout the lifespan is very welcome, with invaluable lessons and insights spanning all steps and stages in our great existential journey. Moreover, the book breaks free of the self-limiting boundaries within which positive psychology sometimes finds itself hemmed, drawing on deep wells of thought and scholarship across myriad fields and topics, and bringing these together into a unique and generative synthesis. These not only include developmental and lifespan psychology, as one might hope and expect, but realms such as existential philosophy and psychotherapy, myth and metaphor, language and literature, and religion and spirituality. The authors' collective wisdom and expertise truly shine through across the pages, which are imbued with a generous caring spirit of truly wanting people to flower and become their best selves, something which this book will surely help make possible.'
