Here is the revolutionary idea of Positive Psychology - which focuses on strengths rather than weaknesses and asserts that happiness is not the result of good genes or random luck. Happiness can be cultivated by identifying and using the strengths and traits the individual already has: including kindness, generosity, originality, humour and optimism. These signature strengths can not only develop a natural buffer against misfortune and the experience of negative emotions, but can move lives up to a new and more positive plane.

The Red Book contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung’s later works. It was here that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality. As Sara Corbett wrote in the New York Times, The creation of one of modern history’s true visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung’s place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of course, Freud. -
Pele, the volcano Goddess of ancient Hawai'i, is still openly revered and worshipped in the islands. Her personification has evolved from a rich heritage of mythology and lore of her exploits introduced to the Western world by W.D. Westervelt. First published in 1916, there are also adventurous tales of Pele's sister Hi'iaka with mortals such as the handsome chiefs Kahawaii and Lohiau and the love affair with the half-man, half-pig demigod Kamapua'a. The powerful conflicts between Pele and Poliahu, the snow goddess, and Hi'iaka and the many mo'o (supernatural water creatures) are recounted with great dramatic suspense. Cover art by Brian Ibaan. -
