You need the physical book too to do the "tests".
You need the physical book too to do the "tests". So a good chunk of the book is useless.
I wouldn't choose to buy this audio book.

Simply great!
To the point. short and actionable. the test you do at the beginning is really helpful and the rest of the book shows how to deal with the results. I am very glad I gave this one a listen.

Pessimists can be optimistic

I would give it a six if it wasn't abbreviated
This is an excellent snapshot of how your explanatory style leads to positive or negative thinking. Comes complete with self-test booklet and with suggestions for overcoming negative thinking patterns by disputation and diversion tactics. Deserves to be in the top one. I was put off by shortness of download but it packs a lot in. I can't see why the full version is not available. Seligman IS the father of positive psychology, learned helplessness etc

Very disappointing
This title is complely unsuitable for an audio book. Most people are doing something else e.g. driving while listening so filling in questionaires isn't feasible. I would have prefered Prof. Seligman to give a summary rather than wading through piles of primary data

Not the actual book!
It's a simplified self-help version of the original book and that really was not what I was looking for.

Great into into improving your thinking processes
Super AUDIBLE version of the book. Great introduction into the power of positive Psychology. The pdf assessment is a great way of understanding the basic principles.

well worth your time
Well worth listening to for techniques for yourself or clients. You may need the book in print for the tests therein.

Less than expected
some good ideas and suggestions but very short and generally repetition of old knowledge. The main problem is that half of the "book" refers to some cards which are not available for the audible version.
