The Positivity Prescription: A six week wellbeing program based on the science of Positive Psychology

Dr Suzy Green's "The Positivity Prescription" will help you to flourish. It doesn't matter if you're 18 or 80, if you're not feeling like your "best possible self" then this book is your ready-made roadmap to a flourishing life - where positivity overrides negativity and well-being trumps depression.

"The Positivity Prescription" bridges the gap between science and practice by providing a structured, 6-week program that guides the reader to learn and apply proven positive psychology practices. The program can be done alone, with a buddy or in a group.

The book is presented in a user-friendly style and format that aims to provide motivation and coaching, practical tips and techniques, together with weekly challenges. Throughout the book, the reader is encouraged to take action and put their knowledge into practice. The book contains chapters on mood, motivation, might (character strengths), meaning, mindfulness and mindset.

Dr Suzy Green is an internationally renowned expert on Positive Psychology. In her 20's Suzy was a self-confessed, self-improvement junkie trying to find herself in a sea of self-help books. Despite leaving school at 16, Suzy's thirst for further knowledge inspired her to study psychology at university as a mature age student. After graduating with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, she began work as an Intern in a psychiatric clinic but soon realised that treatment alone wasn't going to prevent the world-wide epidemic of depression. What was needed was a proactive and preventative approach. Suzy's ground-breaking research on evidence-based life coaching led to her teaching the first higher educational course on Positive Psychology in Australia at the University of Sydney, where she lectured for 10 years. Suzy has also consulted to hundreds of individual clients as a Consulting Psychologist, applying the science of well-being to transform lives. In 2012, Suzy founded "The Positivity Institute", a boutique positive psychological consulting company that helps individuals, schools and organisations to flourish. Suzy also has a strong media profile and was the Australian Women's Health Magazine's "Stress-Less Expert" for 8 years.
