积极进化心理学本质上是利用进化心理学原理和研究来帮助推进与积极心理学相关的目标。积极心理学家关注的是我们如何通过关注增加积极结果的因素,比如生活满意度和幸福感,来改善个人和社区的生活。进化心理学运用基于达尔文对生命的理解的进化原理,帮助阐明各种心理现象。因此,积极进化心理学就是利用达尔文的伟大思想来帮助人们和社区体验更积极、更充实的生活。本书共分11章,(1)描述了进化心理学和积极心理学的基本思想;(b)详细说明将这两个领域结合起来作为帮助改善人类状况的一种方式;(c)从积极进化心理学的角度讨论人类功能的几个领域;(d)着眼于这一领域工作的未来。在过去的几十年里,进化心理学家已经开始破解幸福、感恩、适应力、社区和爱等现象的密码。这本书从两个方面描述了人类经验的这些方面:(a)它们的进化起源和(b)我们如何引导人们在日常生活中最佳地体验这些积极的现象。
Positive evolutionary psychology is essentially the use of evolutionary psychological principles and research to help advance the goals associated with positive psychology. Positive psychologists focus on ways that we can advance the lives of individuals and communities by focusing on factors that increase positive outcomes such as life satisfaction and happiness. Evolutionary psychology uses the principles of evolution, based on Darwin’s understanding of life, to help shed light on any and all kinds of psychological phenomena. Positive evolutionary psychology, thus, is the use of Darwin’s big idea to help people and communities experience more positive and fulfilling lives. Across 11 chapters, this book (a) describes the basic ideas of both evolutionary and positive psychology; (b) elaborates on the integration of these two fields as a way to help advance the human condition; (c) discusses several domains of human functioning from the perspective of positive evolutionary psychology; and (d) looks with an eye toward the future of work in this field. Over the past few decades, evolutionary psychologists have begun to crack the code on such phenomena as happiness, gratitude, resilience, community, and love. This book describes these facets of the human experience in terms of both (a) their evolutionary origins and (b) how we might guide people to optimally experience such positive phenomena in their everyday lives.
