PNTV: Positive Psychology and the Body by Kate Hefferon (#413)
You Are Heroic with Brian Johnson
Introduction
We need to engage in a study of not just the mind, but also the body if we want to fully express our soul. The number one virtue that positive psychologists say is most highly correlated to our flourishing is zest. It's our life force, our energy. So that's why i love this book much.

Here are 5 of my favorite Big Ideas from Positive Psychology and the Body by Kate Hefferon. Hope you enjoy! "Positive Psychology and the Body." Unfortunately, those two subjects are rarely connected--which is why I was so excited to get this book when I saw the title. It's actually a *textbook* not a normal book. It provides an overview of research on a range of subjects including: "Positive Psychophysiology," "Positive Neuroscience," "Positive Sexuality" and "Positive Nutrition." Big Ideas we explore include a quick look at Martin Seligman's PERMA approach to eudaimonic (vis-a-vis hedonic) happiness, your nervous system (flip the switch!), longevity and positive emotion (some astonishing stats), diet and wellbeing/depression (sugar begone!), and physical activity (science says: it does a body good!).
