A chapter in People Management in Turbulent Times, 2009, pp 198-199 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Positive psychology in business has a new and beguiling message. The old-style, puritanical, work-on-your-weaknesses message is rejected. The reason is that this is a mistaken misallocation of energy and focus. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to correct, eliminate, or conquer your weaknesses, particularly if you are “getting on a bit” — a quite odd fatalism from a school of maximal optimism.
