prefer to replace the word feeling with satisfaction or contentment. Drawing from personal experience, again, I have known people who had every reason to be negative about life. They were financially destitute, or suffered from some physical ailment. Yet because of their positive attitude they were content and satisfied with their life. It did not mean they had no goals to better their lot in life; satisfaction and contentment are not synonymous with passivity. Rather, they are a perspective concerning the present that benefits the future, and are often combined with short and long term goals (positive engagement).Seligman stated it this way in his report, Subjectivewhen a person feels great, defined by high ends of measures of several psychological states. These states are:(a) a sense of positive physical well-being. The individual enjoys a sense of energy, vigor,vitality, robustness (as opposed to a sense of vulnerability to disease, tenuousness of health status, health-related anxiety);(b) the absence of bothersome symptoms, measured, for example by the Somatic Symptom Inventory;(c) a sense of durability, hardiness, and confidence about ones body (as opposed to a sense of fragility, susceptibility to disease);(d) an internal health-related locus of control so that the individual feels a measure of control over health; (e) optimism, measured for example by the Attributional Style Questionnaire and by content analysis of verbatim materials, and confidence about ones future health (as opposed to anxiety, bodily preoccupation, disease fear);(f) high life satisfaction, as measured for example by Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q); and(g) positive emotion, minimal and appropriate negative emotion, high sense of engagement and meaning.(Seligman, M.

In other words positive mental health translates into positive physical, social, functional health.In one set of studies conducted over an 11 month period of time Seligman sought to validate his hypothesis by the following: How positive emotion, engagement, and meaning build life satisfaction, productivity, and health (directed by Peterson and Seligman). The development of national well-being indicators to supplement economic indicators (directed by Diener). The study of spirituality in successful lives (directed by Vaillant). The study of Psychological Capital (directed by Csikszentmihalyi). The development of mirror Chinese and Spanish websites forwww.authentichappiness.org (directed by Peterson and Seligman)."In the 11 months between each of the three residency periods, we carried out these projects back in our home
