Don't you mean Sunset Maudlin?

I think I will use that as another of my fake internet names...

Creative Non-fiction:

Sunset Maudlin debates Tony Robbins, Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie in a Panel Discusion of:

"What can we really Change about ourselve, our lives and our situation vis health, prosperity and weatlth using the various Tenets of Self-Help Literature Through the Ages?"

Guest Speakers:

Arthur Rimbaud

Ghengis Khan

Napoleon

Mary Queen of Scots

Serenity Poem

Desiderata

Etc.

Great Idea for a Spoof. All the speakers names will bring people/readers through the magic of web crawling spiders looking for key words.

What to name this blog is the question.

Positive Psychology given credence by Academia:

Positive psychology is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.

Commentators on the subject Martin Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, note that:

"The field of positive psychology at the subjective level is about valued subjective experiences: well-being, contentment, and satisfaction (in the past); hope and optimism (for the future); and flow and happiness (in the present).

At the individual level, it is about positive individual traits: the capacity for love and vocation, courage, interpersonal skill, aesthetic sensibility, perseverance, forgiveness, originality, future mindedness, spirituality, high talent, and wisdom.

At the group level, it is about the civic virtues and the institutions that move individuals toward better citizenship: responsibility, nurturance, altruism, civility, moderation,tolerance, and work ethic."
