Book Preview: 

#1 The real way positive psychology was developed has been a secret until now. In 1997, I was president-elect of the American Psychological Association, and I received an email from an anonymous foundation lawyers asking me to come see them in New York.

#2 I had almost forgotten about the anonymous foundation, when I got a call from the treasurer about six months later. They had met two brilliant people in Derry, the medical anthropologist Mel Konner and Dennis McCarthy, a retired British industrialist. They wanted me to gather together the leading scientists and scholars and answer the Mandela-Milosevic question.

#3 Atlantic Philanthropies was a fund that gave out large grants to different projects. I called the CEO of Atlantic to thank him for his help, and to ask him to convey my gratitude to Feeney.

#4 The first step in positive psychology is to dissolve the monism of happiness into more workable terms. Understanding happiness requires a theory, and this chapter is my new theory.
