Martin Seligman's positive psychology is widely used in the States. Has anyone used it within the Asian context?
Dear Janet
I live in Iran and most of his valuable books and articles are used here. Even, I think he is the most famous person in positive psychology in Iran . also you can see the used references in published articles were written by Asian authors. thank you for your curiosity.

Dear Forough,
Thank you for the feedback. I'm aware of his works. Have you used his Positive Psychology in your class for a period of time? I wish to make a comparison with what I am working on currently.
Dear Janet
Since I work in positive psychology field, his influence can not be ignored in my class. If I want to bring some instance to you, I should refer to group counseling in M.A class. In last semester I helped them to held a group during 8 sessions( group therapy based on optimistic). each of them should offer me one group therapy protocol( it can not be possible without reading Dr Seligman's references and I combined them and gave them one comprehensive protocol. each session one of them should be prepared to be leader and his/her activity would be some part of final score. also I use it for increasing motivation of college students. what about you? I would be so happy if you tell me about your activity
Dear Forough,
I would like to replicate what you have done, the difference is that I would focus on reading comprehension. Thank you so much for the input.
i am a research scholar in the Department of Psychology. and in our department even our faculty and scholar are used the martin seligman books.
Dear Anaz,
That's wonderful. I will have some questions for you later on. Thank you.
Hi all
I am aware about Seligman's work but I do not think my country Nepal has any work done on positive psychology till date. However, I am going to conduct a research as a PhD student on maternal mental well-being and want to see relationship with pregnancy outcomes.
I appreciate any suggestion if you have :)
