“ Some people can put their troubles neatly into a box and go about their lives even when one important aspect of it—their job, for example, or their love life—is suffering. Others bleed all over everything. They catastrophize. When one thread of their lives snaps, the whole fabric unravels. It comes down to this: People who make universal explanations for their failures give up on everything when a failure strikes in one area. People who make specific explanations may become helpless in that one part of their lives yet march stalwartly on in the others.”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ People with pessimistic habits of thinking can transform mere setbacks into disasters. One way they do this is by converting their own innocence into guilt. ”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ Twenty-five years of study has convinced me that if we habitually believe, as does the pessimist, that misfortune is our fault, is enduring, and will undermine everything we do, more of it will befall us than if we believe otherwise. I am also convinced that if we are in the grip of this view, we will get depressed easily, we will accomplish less than our potential, and we will even get physically sick more often. Pessimistic prophecies are self-fulfilling. ”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ Success requires persistence, the ability to not give up in the face of failure. I believe that optimistic explanatory style is the key to persistence. ”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ When failure occurs, it is because either talent or desire is missing. But failure also can occur when talent and desire are present in abundance but optimism is missing. ”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ Success requires persistence, the ability to not give up in the face of failure. I believe that optimistic explanatory style is the key to persistence.”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ Explanatory style is the great modulator of learned optimism. Optimists recover from their momentary helplessness immediately. Very soon after failing, they pick themselves up, shrug, and start trying again. For them, defeat is a challenge, a mere setback on the road to inevitable victory. They see defeat as temporary and specific, not pervasive. ”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ The optimist believes that bad events have specific causes, while good events will enhance everything he does; the pessimist believes that bad events have universal causes and that good events are caused by specific factors. ”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ Anytime you find yourself down or anxious or angry, ask what you are saying to yourself. Sometimes the beliefs will turn out to be accurate; when this is so, concentrate on the ways you can alter the situation and prevent adversity from becoming disaster. But usually your negative beliefs are distortions. Challenge them. Don/’t let them run your emotional life. Unlike dieting, learned optimism is easy to maintain once you start. Once you get into the habit of disputing negative beliefs, your daily life will run much better, and you will feel much happier. ”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ Explanatory style is the great modulator of learned helplessness. Pessimists wallow in defeat, which they see as permanent and pervasive. They become depressed and stay helpless for very long periods. A setback is a defeat. And a defeat in one battle is the loss of the war. They don’t begin to try again for weeks or months, and if they try, the slightest new setback throws them back into a helpless state. ”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ The skills of becoming happy turn out to be almost entirely different from the skills of not being sad, not being anxious, or not being angry.”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ Depression, I have argued, stems partly from an overcommitment to the self and an undercommitment to the common good. ”
Quotes from Learned Optimism Book by Martin Seligman
“ Curing the negatives does not produce the positives.”
