Trade ReviewThis is a workbook, which means that it contains many activities and questions for reflection. An individual might work through the book, writing answers directly in the big spaces, causing the workbook to evolve into a personal manual for well-being. A pair of accountability buddies might swap books to see each other’s progress. A group might do the activities together and talk about the questions out loud. The workbook is divided up into 8 training sessions. Think of it as a map for a journey to greater self-awareness and well-being. Each session starts with a powerful story that shows the session concept in action. After the body of each session comes a toolkit of ways to apply the ideas further.Ryan Niemiec has taught people around the world to use mindfulness and character strengths together in order to live more flourishing lives. Whether for yourself or someone you treasure, his new workbook could be a holiday gift that makes a difference. Reviewed by Kathryn Britton, Chapel Hill, NC, in Positive Psychology News (Nov. 2023);
