Dana - You know I wasn’t in the Positive Psychology program at Penn, but hearing you talk about all the people you’d met and all the ideas you learned in your classes really made an impact on me. Thanks so much for opening my eyes to the workd of Seligman and for recommending to me all those great books you’re always reading. See, the ripples you’ve created are spreading already!

Hi Dana,

You know how much I have enjoyed our conversations about Gratitude. I’m not surprised by your plan to interview other people about their relationship to Positive Psychology. Your natural curiosity will make you a great interviewer. I am looking forward to reading the results of your interviews.

I like the questions, “How do you know you’re happy?” In addition to “What makes you happy? and “How do others know you’re happy?” and “How does your happiness impact your success in life?”

Enjoy Dana!

Warm Regards,

David

“Interesting. Very interesting! I wonder…” (It’s a Harry Potter quote — anyone know where?) Dana, you might think about both naturally positive folks like your brother (Jon Haidt’s “winners of the cortical lottery”) and also those negative folks who don’t want to face the possibility/responsibility of giving up their negativity. There’s a scene in C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divide that comes to mind here.

Go Dana! Love the nuance to ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ - very apropos. I’m looking forward to what answers you’ll find to your questions through the interviews!

Nice work, Dana! I like the title of your article, especially. So, do you already have a list of people you plan to interview?

You could maybe ask about significant past experiences that may have led them to their specific life approaches….I’ll keep brainstorming….
