Most of the positive psychologists in the book call for a healthy dose of skepticism about findings (including their own) and positive psychology applications. Too often positive psychologists just look at the work of other positive psychologists, rather than broadening out and looking at relevant work of those who are not in the positive psychology fold.‛. Several of the interviewees talk about the importance of acknowledging the contributions of the predecessors of positive psychology and, as Michael Steger puts it, ‚reading old stuff‛.

Waterman drew from his own research (Waterman, 1993; Waterman, Schwartz, & Conti, 2008), which found that whilst eudaimonic activities were highly associated with hedonic enjoyment, hedonic enjoyment was often found to arise in the absence of eudaimonia, and therefore they are distinct3. keywords: activities; activity; et al; eudaimonia; happiness; hedonia; life; pathways; perspectives; pleasure; psychology; pursuits; research; satisfaction; waterman; wellbeing cache: ijow-80.pdf plain text: ijow-80.txt item: #247 of 273 id: ijow-805 author: Fors Connolly, Filip; Johansson Sevä, Ingemar; Gärling, Tommy title: How does time pressure influence emotional wellbeing?
