"Savoring: A New Model of Positive Experience is a fascinating
hybrid of a book—part reflection, part theory, part survey results;
it contains checklists, data, statistical tables interspersed with
poetry, and diary entries." - Mihály Csíkszentmihályi,
PsycCRITIQUES"The work was a pleasure to read, and certainly got me
thinking about savoring experiences of my own." - David G. Myers,
Ph.D. Hope College"The book supplies something that no other book
does-a compendium of new and scholarly ideas on how to extract the
maximum enjoyment from one's life...The writing style is clear and
engaging...a good scholarly book...backed by considerable data." -
Kennon M. Sheldon, Ph.D. University of Missouri/Columbia"Savoring
is destined in my opinion to become a classic." - Martin Seligman,
Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania"This book is a must-read for those
in the field of positive psychology. As is often the vase with a
new field of research, the authors raise as many questions as they
answer. The questions raised are the best kind: provocative,
empirically testable, timely, and rich with practical
applications." - Jaime L. Kurtz, The Journal of Positive
Psychology, January, 2008
