Practices that may help
- Seligman’s PERMA Model, Made Practical
Martin Seligman’s PERMA model identifies five pillars of well-being: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. Unlike happiness models that treat well-being as a single variable, PERMA argues these five elements are each intrinsically valued and each independently improvable. Several PERMA-targeted interventions have randomized-trial support; others are mechanistically grounded with less direct evidence. - Write three good things and their causes each evening
Before sleep, write three specific good things that happened and — crucially — why each one happened.
Three Good Things: The Evidence-Based Gratitude Practice - Anchor the wind-down with a consistent starting cue
A repeated pre-sleep ritual — a specific tea, a book, a certain playlist — becomes a conditioned cue that induces sleepiness over time.
The Wind-Down Routine: Engineering Your Path to Sleep - Positive Psychology, Made Practical
Martin Seligman’s positive psychology studies what makes life worth living, organized around the PERMA model — Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. Several of its signature interventions, including three good things, the gratitude visit, and using signature strengths, have genuine randomized-trial support for raising well-being and lowering depressive symptoms. - Learned Optimism: Seligman’s ABCDE Method
Learned optimism, from Martin Seligman’s research program, teaches you to identify and dispute the pessimistic explanations you generate automatically after setbacks — using his ABCDE model (Adversity, Belief, Consequence, Disputation, Energization). Clinical and observational research links shifting from pessimistic to flexible explanatory style to reduced depression risk and better persistence; effects are real but modest, and the goal is accuracy, not forced positivity. - Audit your life against PERMA
Check well-being across all five pillars — emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment.
Positive Psychology, Made Practical - Run a PERMA audit of your current well-being
Rate each of the five PERMA pillars to find which is currently limiting your overall flourishing.
Seligman’s PERMA Model, Made Practical - The three-question evening review
Ask three questions before sleep: What did I do wrong? What did I succeed at? What could I have done better?
The Pythagorean Evening Review - Run the ABCDE disputation
Map adversity → belief → consequence, then dispute the belief with evidence.
Learned Optimism: Seligman’s ABCDE Method - The Pythagorean evening examination (Hadot’s version)
