Flourishing has the latest theory based on research of Martin Seligman, one of the godfathers of the Positive Psychology movement. His other books, such as Authentic Happiness and Learned Optimism are excellent, scientific, and extremely useful in improving individual lives.
I haven't read this, his first book in ten years, but it looks very good, promising "an electrifying new theory of what makes a good life." I'll be curious to see how much is truly new because what the summary proposes sounds very much like the excellent life as described by Aristotle in The Nicomachean Ethics.

can't hear it. Volume too low.
Sorry, I'm not having any problem hearing the video - just tried it again after receiving your comment. I got it at the RSA website, if you want to go there and find it, maybe it will work better for you that way.
