should come from the sale of this type of waste is prohibited. good for the pockets of those who reach the poor souls and tested on the poor dogs target. Shame On You MR! Rating: 5.1
This is the first time I wrote a comment. In this particular case, I felt it was my responsibility to warn potential readers of the disturbing content of this book. I have several “self-help read” books on topics such as the introversion of optimistic thinking. I found this book to be very helpful and very disturbing. The book is full of tests and self-evaluations. I do not think it is necessary to know where you fall on the scale optimistic pessimist /. Often, these tests can only endanger depressed or anxious readers already. In Chapter 5, the author of a most terrible and disturbing story used to illustrate a five-step process to forgiveness. I was disgusted even more from the list, the author of “creature comforts” in Chapter 7 described. Instead of feeling raised by this book, I found myself feeling upset and shocked by the selfishness of the author, ignorance, perversion and insensitivity. I warn all those who seek the advice of optimism Rating: 5.1
Unfortunately, Martin Seligman atheism permeates every page of this book are not only offensive to Christians, like me, quite depressing, as well. After the first chapter or two, I could not more of his propaganda, and so I jumped at the end to see what conclusions could be. The refusal, an absolutely supernatural God who can be involved in its formation to produce miracles conclude that Seligman covers the natural result of evolution (part of the original theory of Darwin about natural selection and mutation of organisms is among society and institutions) is a perfect society free from poverty and crime, which sounds like “God”. This utopia is the result of a “win-win” scenario is the only “God” that Seligman believes, and that true happiness lies in his optimism about the future of the society of humanity rooted. Needless to say, watch this gibberish (based on “scientific” studies, such as predicting the image of someone in a secondary directory, how long they live), not only my mind and my faith offended, but it made me angry that I don ‘hard-earned money had paid for this book. I’m back in business tomorrow so that Seligman and Simon & Schuster not to see a penny. Rating: 5.1
Professor, “mindless” includes the true happiness and pessimism, faith, happiness, and pessimism fake fake – and all these things outside the Buddha-nature. By saying what you said, you said exactly nothing. Herr Hitler has obviously a great satisfaction to know its strengths and update found. I think he was deeply convinced that to do what he wanted was for the good of all and deeply positive. Rating: 5.3
From the beginning, the author tells how he the concept of “learned helplessness” by his experiences, where he administered electric shocks to dogs in cages until they gave up and everything was there and moaned proved. I threw the book aside at this time. This “scientific” should not be rewarded for its senseless cruelty that proves nothing. We do not support your science, Dr. Seligman! Get the book in a library if you must, but the reward for his “experiments”. It could be your dog idiot moral experimentation. Rating: 5.1
