Media Reviews
Warren and Donaldson provide an up-to-date snapshot of recent scientific developments in this ten-chapter, edited book. . . . Most intriguing is emerging research concerning social class, disability, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation, which means that positive psychology is maturing and becoming more multicultural, just as the questions asked are becoming more subtle and nuanced. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals. - Choice
I'd like to nominate Meg Warren and Stewart Donaldson's new edited volume Scientific Advances in Positive Psychology as a candidate for the best 20-year retrospective on positive psychology's progress as a scientific and applied discipline. - PsycCRITIQUES
