One of the most important psychologists alive today tells the story of the transformation of modern psychology through the lens of his own career and change of heart.Martin E. P. Seligman is one of the most decorated and popular psychologists of his generation. When he first encountered the discipline in the 1960s, it was devoted to eliminating misery: the science of how past trauma creates present symptoms. Today, thanks in large part to Seligman's own work pioneering the Positive Psychology movement, it is ever more focused on the bright side; gratitude, resilience, and hope.In this his memoir, Seligman recounts how he learned to study optimism; including a life-changing conversation with his five-year-old daughter. In wise, eloquent prose, Seligman tells the human stories behind some of his major findings. He recounts developing CAVE, an analytical tool that predicts election outcomes (with shocking accuracy) based on the language used in campaign speeches, and the canonical studies that birthed the theory of learned helplessness - which he now reveals was incorrect. And he writes at length for the first time about his own battles with depression at a young age.All the while, Seligman works out his theory of psychology, making a compelling and deeply personal case for the importance of virtues like hope, anticipation, gratitude, and wisdom for our mental health. You will walk away from this book not just educated but deeply enriched.

Since 2002 I have read five of Martin Seligman's books: Authentic Happiness, Flourish, Learned Optimism, What You Can Change, and What You Can't, and now The Hope Circuit.The first four books were tremendous. I loved them. They impacted my thinking enormously. I found so many practical ways to effectively guide my thoughts and emotions to improve performance in so many different situations. They've almost become so engrained in me that I often forget where I first learned the ideas.However, The Hope Circuit is at a much higher level. This is a tour de force. It explains in a tremendously personal way the development of psychology, and several mentions of psychiatry and philosophy as well and even astronomy with the stories about Carl Sagan, over the past 50-70 years.It shows how behaviorism gave way to the importance of cognition and cognitive therapy and the work of Tim Beck and evolved into Positive Psychology and eventually to the Hope Circuit over a period of 50 - 70 years. All of this psychological history is explained through personal stories about the interactions between Seligman and his mentors, peers, and students. This book reminds me of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. Not only did Seligman interact with many of the key psychological people in history, he also made history himself with his work on learned helplessness and then learned optimism, and ultimately with the development of Positive Psychology.However, there is one other completely unique aspect of this book that I loved. Marty Seligman opens up in very intimate ways about his personal life. For example, he talks about his own intensity and impatience in his late 20s and early 30s and how it affected his relationships with family and friends. I found his story to be remarkably down to earth and relatable.This is most definitely NOT a book on the theories of psychology. It is a very real and heartfelt story of how tremendously important principles of psychology emerged over the decades from real people working hard to uncover the underlying truths. He doesn't sugarcoat any of his stories. He explains exactly how he saw things unfold from his perspective. For example, his story about how the teachings of psychiatry were greatly influenced by which ideas members of the U.S. Congress were willing to financially support.This book is like the autobiography of a great athlete, except this is a story about a person who spent his life working to understand how the mind works. I can't imagine you not getting value out of reading this book. I savored it and underlined almost every word on every page. It also reminds me of The Hero's Journey that Joseph Campbell wrote about. Seligman spent decades searching for powerful insights through a wide range of obstacles and many moments of challenging the status quo, and then he brings what he discovered back to large masses of people to help them not only reduce suffering but to find ways to sustain optimism and joy in their lives.
