Positive Autoethnography (PosAE) combines personal narrative and positive psychology to offer a new approach to self-reflective research. This methodology focuses on personal growth, resilience, and well-being, addressing the growing need for a more constructive, positive approach in fields like psychology and sociology. By emphasizing positive reflexivity, PosAE creates space for insights that uplift both writers and readers.In Positive Autoethnography: An Introduction to Theory and Practice, authors Dr. Freda Gonot-Schoupinsky and Prof. Dr. mult. Claude-Hélène Mayer present the first comprehensive exploration of this methodology. Developed in consultation with Dr. Mark Weeks, and featuring the work of numerous scholars, this collection introduces the theoretical and practical underpinnings of PosAE. The authors reveal the close connection of PosAE to Pragmatic Autoethnography (PAE) and present its pragmatic usage across various applications. PosAE subtypes are showcased to highlight its therapeutic, intercultural, and collaborative potential, while addressing the unique needs PosAE fulfills within Positive Psychology (PP) and Autoethnography (AE). With practical examples and a broad interdisciplinary scope, this work underscores the adaptability of PosAE to a range of research contexts, making it accessible to scholars from diverse backgrounds.Bringing a fresh perspective to qualitative research, Positive Autoethnography is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and educators in PP, AE, psychology, social work, counseling, and beyond. Engaging in positive reflexivity, readers will find new ways to connect with autoethnographic practices that foster resilience, growth, and practical impact.

Humour is officially recognized in positive psychology as one of the 24 ‘character strengths’. However, laughter has an uneasy relationship with positive psychology, despite being key to communicating joy and happiness.The Positive Psychology of Laughter and Humour corrects this disconnect by combining academic insight with real-world experience. Drawing on the authors’ diverse backgrounds and expertise, this is the first academic volume dedicated to the rarely discussed topic of laughter and humour in positive psychology.Freda Gonot-Schoupinsky, Merv Neal and Jerome Carson demonstrate how laughter and humour differ, and how both can be applied within positive psychology to boost mood and maintain positive outcomes.The Positive Psychology of Laughter and Humour includes case studies and real-world insight as well as providing a methodological and theoretical background to the topic, giving rigorous theoretical and methodological insight for researchers, and including pedagogical sections in each chapter useful for teachers and researchers.
