We were on choppy water headed into a stiff breeze 5 miles out from the coast when we spotted the first pod of dolphins. At a distance, they looked like small black waves breaking the surface. As we drew closer, we could see more than 100 adults and calves playfully leaping, breaching, tail-whacking and belly [...]
Martin Seligman at the age of 13 witnessed his father being carried out of the house on a stretcher. His father, a lawyer at the pinnacle of his career, had been hit by a series of strokes and became physically and emotionally helpless for the rest of his life.

Try to imagine this…a sales person complains that his prospects just aren’t interested. When you ask why, he responds, “I can just tell. They’re not interested in hearing anything I have to say. So why even bother? I just need some prospects who will give me a chance.”
What would you have to say to [...]
You might think that the pounding in my head would have been enough to wake me, but it was the sledge hammers that did the job. They pounded away in an unrelenting counter beat to my throbbing temples. A work crew was erecting a large white tent for a wedding reception near the grassy spot [...]
