Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When something goes wrong I spiral straight into the dark conclusion and the bad feeling, and I want an actual step-by-step way to slow that down and argue back with evidence instead of just sinking.
- I want to genuinely change something fundamental about how I am, but I don’t know what’s actually movable and what’s just baked in for life

- Something about my life feels off and I genuinely can’t name what
- My team is looking to me to read how bad things really are, and I’m stuck
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. - 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. - Run the ABCDE disputation
Map adversity → belief → consequence, then dispute the belief with evidence.
Learned Optimism: Seligman’s ABCDE Method - Understanding trait change — what shifts and what does not
Big Five traits are relatively stable in rank order but do change in absolute level — especially with deliberate practice and major life transitions.
The Big Five Personality Model - Track your temptation-to-confidence ratio
Confidence in your ability to resist temptation must outpace the pull of the old behavior.
The Transtheoretical Model of Change, 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 - Apply the Stockdale Paradox to teams and leadership
As a leader or team member under pressure, model the simultaneous holding of faith and brutal facts — it is contagious in both directions.
The Stockdale Paradox, Made Practical - Borrow an identity temporarily by asking "what would [person] do?"
Temporarily adopting a role model’s identity in a specific context lowers the friction of acting as they would.
Identity Priming, Made Practical - Audit your life against PERMA
Check well-being across all five pillars — emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment.
Positive Psychology, Made Practical - Track mastery progress, not just outcomes (accomplishment pillar)
Measure your growth in capability over time, not only whether you hit your targets.
