Martin Seligman: Why is psychology good?

Is there a part missing? The talk was coherent until he became possessed by the voice of technology itself at the end there. I felt like he was wrapping everything up sweetly, like a good ol' Saint Nick, which is a shame, because he started off really well.

there is an article in VOLTAIRE NET about tourture in GUANTAMO, if you like to know more go there!!!

how is psychology good? it's good for psychologists to get money : ], anyone else think this guy is a pompus ass? i think someone wedged a lamp up his ass

appropriate sentiment for someone with the name: turd sandwich

y not comment on something i actually sed or dont bother at all

i did, i commented on how your comment is appropriate for someone with the name turd sandwich.

why dont you comment on something martin seligman sed, or dont bother at all

you are seeking validation from people on youtube, to support your transference of seligman, then you made a adolescent remark about your obvious anal fixation

i hope that was a joke, u must b one of those who uses psychology to feel superior! but im sure u're far too educated for me, i failed psychology so i wudnt know wtf u r talking about

dude, u asked me to comment on what you were saying, i didnt say i was right, im just stating my opinion

This talk reminded me of the media. How? By how he said entertainment being aimed toward positive emotion. The media today is at least near the equivalent of terrorism. This, in my reaction, made me speak out and say "Fuck the media". Why? Because they report what instills fear into us. Fear is what clouds rationality. On another note, I agree completely that psychology today demeans personal responsibility. You can't FIX someone. The point of psychology should be to help them COPE, to give HOPE
