Flourishing in Museums : Towards a Positive Museology
Flourishing in Museums presents the Flourishing Museum Framework, an interdisciplinary model for reflection and practice.Illustrated via a diversity of international examples, the framework demonstrates how museums can meaningfully address the many challenges facing the profession. Including contributions from a wide range of scholar-practitioners working across the arts, humanities, sciences, education, business, and mental health disciplines, the volume uses abundance-thinking and takes a strengths-based appreciative approach to museum purpose, function, and being.The book demonstrates that, even within the most difficult climates, abundance-oriented methods and perspectives can inspire and elicit flourishing in visitors, staff, and communities, thus positioning museums as places where people find meaningful and purposeful work and where visitors find satisfaction, meaning, inspiration, and motivation.Drawing from the disciplines of positive psychology, positive organizational scholarship, contemplative studies, and museum studies, the book is unified and organized into six thematic areas that comprise the Flourishing Museum Framework: courage, transformation, care, optimism, gratitude, and delight. Flourishing in Museums will be essential reading for academics and students working in the museum and heritage fields, as well as the cognate disciplines of arts management and creative industries.It will also be useful to practitioners working in museums and heritage sites around the world.

Positive Psychology and the Body: The somatopsychic side to flourishing
As positive psychology continues to make leaps and bounds in terms of scientific advancement, the focus on the importance of the body within optimal functioning is still lagging.Positive Psychology and the Body provides a critical reflection on this omission, highlighting the mounting corpus of scientific research completed on the physical mechanisms which assist either momentary experiences of pleasure or longer-lasting feelings of meaning and self development.Indispensable reading for students of well-being, positive psychology and sports psychology, the book spans topics such as physical activity, genetics, interpersonal touch, positive sexual behaviours, nutrition and many more.Those studying and researching coaching, health, clinical psychology and counselling psychology will also find the book valuable reading.With contributions from Angela Clow and Michael Pluess. "Case studies, fun facts, and suggested resources are just some of the many learning boxes within the text.These allow the readers to pause and really think about the material ...Hefferon offers a lot of new topics to the conversation.She also notes the value that positive psychology holds for research in other unexpected fields."Review on website of the United States Association for Body Psychotherapy"Finally, an author has addressed the white elephant in the room: the human body.Arguably one of the most important aspects of the self the body has long been overlooked by positive psychologists as a serious point of study.This book has it all: from sex to genetics to illness Hefferon brings an expert review of research, clear advice and fresh thinking."Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener, Managing Director, Positive Acorn, LLC"With this fine textbook, Positive Psychology expands its scope considerably, to include new and important perspectives from the very foundation of any psyche: the body.Indeed, we may argue that as much as any organ, the psyche is part of the body, if certainly still very strangely so.Kate Hefferon with her colleagues are to be strongly applauded for making new understandings of the mind-body-unity so accessible to students and everyone else interested in this fascinating topic." Hans Henrik Knoop, Aarhus University, Denmark and President, European Network for Positive Psychology"In a field - positive psychology - overcrowded with simplistic treatments of happiness and the good life, Kate Hefferon has put together a truly original book. By linking principles of positive psychology with the body, Hefferon brings to light the need for a more holistic approach to the good life, one that honors the reality that we carry out this project called "life" tethered to this world through our bodies. Anybody interested in a more grounded positive psychology should read this book."Corey L.M. Keyes, Professor of Sociology, Emory University, USA"In showing the relevance of positive psychology to sexuality, nutrition, health and physical activity Kate Hefferon pushes the boundaries of positive psychology into new territory.Packed with ideas that we can apply in our own lives, students and others interested in positive psychology will find this book an excellent introduction.Well worth the time to read."Stephen Joseph, author of What Doesn't Kill Us: The New Psychology of Posttraumatic Growth

Philosophy and Human Flourishing
What is a thriving, meaningful, and flourishing human life?What practices, associations, policies, and institutions support flourishing lives?These questions are not new ones.Philosophers from Buddha and Socrates onward have stressed that love of wisdom is demonstrated by living well--not by thought or theory alone but by action and practice.In light of new developments in positive psychology, psychiatry, evolutionary biology, cognitive science, and behavioral economics, these questions can be addressed with fresh insight rooted in both theory and practice.This new perspective is further supported by recent research in feminist theory, critical race studies, philosophical psychology, neuro-ethics, and more.Philosophy and Human Flourishing both draws on and charts new directions for philosophy and humanistic thought aimed at human flourishing. To reflect the fact that human lives and cultures differ, the perspectives here are refreshingly pluralistic, a commitment evident in the breadth and diversity of its highly accomplished contributors.Their expertise spans philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, evolutionary theory, cognitive science, ethics, political theory, social epistemology, education, and the arts.Each chapter is crisp, clear, and free of technical jargon.All contributors write in explicit conversation and cross-reference each other to create a volume that is cohesive and engaging.Human flourishing does not happen automatically or by default.It demands careful reflection and imagination. This book takes up and applies that reflection and imagination to the search for a flourishing life.

Music and Human Flourishing
It has long been accepted that participating in music, either as a performer, listener, or composer, can contribute to human happiness and well-being.This volume, part of The Humanities and Human Flourishing series, explores a fourth musical activity--the act of music scholarship--and reveals how engagement with the cultural, social, and political practices surrounding music contributes to human flourishing in a way that listening, performing, and even composing alone cannot. Music and Human Flourishing contains essays by eleven prominent scholars representing the fields of musicology, ethnomusicology, and music theory.The essays are divided into three general categories and cover a broad range of topics and music traditions.In Part I, Contemplation, contributors explore a specific facet of music's connection to human flourishing and contemplate new approaches for future action.Part II, Critique, contains essays that challenge past assumptions of the various roles of music in society and highlight the effects that unconscious bias and stereotyping have had on music's effectiveness to facilitate human flourishing.Part III, Communication, features essays that explore how ethnicity, gender, religion, and technology influence our ability to connect with others through music.Collectively, these essays demonstrate how the process of thinking and writing about music and human flourishing can lead to revelations about cultural identity, social rituals, political ideologies, and even spiritual transcendence.

Mathematics for Human Flourishing
Winner of the Mathematics Association of America's 2021 Euler Book Prize, this is an inclusive vision of mathematics—its beauty, its humanity, and its power to build virtues that help us all flourish “This is perhaps the most important mathematics book of our time.Francis Su shows mathematics is an experience of the mind and, most important, of the heart.”—James Tanton, Global Math Project “A good book is an entertaining read.A great book holds up a mirror that allows us to more clearly see ourselves and the world we live in.Francis Su’s Mathematics for Human Flourishing is both a good book and a great book.”—MAA Reviews For mathematician Francis Su, a society without mathematical affection is like a city without concerts, parks, or museums.To miss out on mathematics is to live without experiencing some of humanity’s most beautiful ideas. In this profound book, written for a wide audience but especially for those disenchanted by their past experiences, an award-winning mathematician and educator weaves parables, puzzles, and personal reflections to show how mathematics meets basic human desires—such as for play, beauty, freedom, justice, and love—and cultivates virtues essential for human flourishing.These desires and virtues, and the stories told here, reveal how mathematics is intimately tied to being human.Some lessons emerge from those who have struggled, including philosopher Simone Weil, whose own mathematical contributions were overshadowed by her brother’s, and Christopher Jackson, who discovered mathematics as an inmate in a federal prison.Christopher’s letters to the author appear throughout the book and show how this intellectual pursuit can—and must—be open to all.
