The books are the foundation of my work.

Each one explores a different dimension of flourishing, both as an individual and as a leader.

With time I have come to see how the insights of positive psychology are as relevant to happiness as they are to the second half of life as they are to leadership. The surgeon general’s definition of mental health is to engage in productive activity, to have fulfilling relationships, to adapt to change and cope with adversity. This would seem to be the definition of a healthy individual as well as a healthy organization. My work is intended to help individuals to have these qualities and for leaders to have them while leading in a manner that enables the people of his/her organization to be equally healthy.
