Flourishing

Do you feel stuck in life? Do you feel that everything has lost meaning and you are just treading water? Do you sense that you can’t keep going on in the same way and depression is setting in? It may be that your relationship is going nowhere, or your job doesn’t give you any satisfaction but you are afraid to leave it. No matter the problem you are stuck in the quicksand of life and the more you struggle the more you sink. This state is called stagnation and millions of people suffer from it.

This book is for you. Its purpose is not only to show you how to overcome your feelings of being mired in a state of languishing, but even more to show you the path to personal transformation that leads to new enthusiasm for life, growth, creativity, and joy.

The basic principle is that in life you are either challenging yourself and growing, or you stop all forward momentum and stagnate. This book will demonstrate how to leave your comfort zone, face your fears, and start working toward your goals. Unlike any of the many books written about leaving the comfort zone, this book is unique in its approach and shows you how personal growth can unleash your creativity and lead you to a life of joy and accomplishment. Joy is a state of well-being and fulfillment that permeates every aspect of your life and no matter what adversities you face it remains with you. It is a life that is driven by your sense of purpose; it is a life of flourishing.

“To flourish is to find fulfillment in our lives, accomplishing meaningful and worthwhile tasks, and connecting with others at a deeper level—in essence, living the “good life.” Martin Seligman

This is different from happiness which fluctuates daily and hourly in a normally functioning human. Instead, we should be reaching for “well-being” and a state of “flourishing,” to find lasting contentment.

In a state of flourishing, we have energy. We also have confidence in our ability to control and improve our mental well-being. We are not panicked by the challenges and setbacks of life. Instead, we use tools and psychological resources to understand and act on our well-being. We use our creativity to better our lives and the lives of the people in our lives, and we live in the Joy Zone.

Flourishing is one of positive psychology’s most important and promising topics. Not only does it relate to many other positive concepts, but it also holds the key to improving the quality of life for people around the world.

We can probably agree that a healthy and blooming plant can be said to “flourish,” and that a business that is booming and raking in record profit is “flourishing.” But what does it mean for a human being to flourish?
Read the book and find out how to flourish. It gives step-by-step instructions for overcoming your fears and learning to leave your comfort zone and grow, self-actualize, and find the joy of living a life of purpose and fulfillment.
