• The good life consists in deriving happiness by using your signature strengths every day in the main realms of living. The meaningful life adds one more component: using these same strengths to forward knowledge, power, or goodness. A life that does this is pregnant with meaning, and if God comes at the end, such a life is sacred.

• Así que la Psicología Positiva se toma en serio la brillante esperanza de que si te encuentras atrapado en el aparcamiento de la vida, con pocos y efímeros placeres, con mínimas gratificaciones y sin sentido, hay un camino de salida. Este camino te lleva a través de la campiña del placer y la gratificación, hasta la altiplanicie de la fortaleza y la virtud y, finalmente, a las cumbres de la realización duradera: el sentido y el propósito.

• The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe that bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault. The optimists, who are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world, think about misfortune in the opposite way. They tend to believe that defeat is just a temporary setback or a challenge, that its causes are just confined to this one case.

• We deprive our children, our charges, of persistence. What I am trying to say is that we need to fail, children need to fail, we need to feel sad, anxious and anguished. If we impulsively protect ourselves and our children, as the feel-good movement suggests, we deprive them of learning-persistence skills.
