I’m reading Martin Seligman’s 2002 book Authentic Happiness and I want to keep track of the projects he suggests. You can generate a similar list from his Reflective Happiness website, but you have to sign up and wait for the system to send you the exercises over several months. This is a draft of projects included in the book, including free tests available on authentichappiness.com.
