“The format for each presentation is very consistent, making it easy for the reader to follow the process. … This book is likely to be a worthwhile reference for anyone interested in the study of positive psychology in those contexts. … this book offers a potentially useful set of tools for researchers in positive psychology working in India and so contributes to the efforts at internationalizing this field.” (Robert E.
