Positive Psychology and Adult Motivation examines the cognitions, traits, and contexts of behavior that are associated with optimal development and resilience through the entire life course. The book investigates the personal psychological development through the stages of emerging adulthood, full adulthood, middle age, and old age as individuals and how they respond positively to them. It explores which traits are needed and which aspects of the environment help a person to truly flourish, thrive and grow. The volume describes the development of resilience as well as other characteristics that will assist individuals in overcoming challenges through adult development.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"This substantial and informative volume, edited by Jan Sinnott, is best suited to academics, practitioners, and others familiar with research in the field and related areas. It consists of 19 chapters divided into four parts: Positive Subjective Experiences, Positive Personality Traits, Positive Environments, and Learning to Thrive During Adulthood. The contributing authors examine many of positive psychology's current foci, including optimal development, flourishing, and resilience throughout the stages of life." (Debbie Joffe Ellis, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 59 (14), April, 2014)

"It's a useful first and second look at Positive Psychology. Not light reading, but clearly useful for those interested in positive psychology. ... I found it an exciting addition to my bookshelf and definitely one I will share with my psychology students." (CouragePsyc, couragepsyc.blogspot.com.au, March, 2014)
