Being good with oneself is priceless. Such a psychological art requires two successes: to reconcile with the past to extinguish certain disappointments and to stop being obsessed by the future to calm our anxieties. Feeling good is, above all, learning to think adequately, focusing on a present that allows us to shape an inner peace that no one should disturb.
Surely we all agree with these statements. However, why are we struggling so hard to find that inner balance that would allow us to feel fulfilled, to enjoy what we have and what characterizes us? Whether we like it or not, there is always something that fails, something that hurts us and prevents us from feeling a lasting well-being, one that does not disappear and stays balanced against all odds.
The world of psychology has always focused its efforts to make these goals simpler. However, and it must be said, its beginnings were complex. For a very long time, his theories and strategies have sought to understand, almost exclusively, the most pathological universe. It was not until the late 1970s that figures such as Martin Seligman or Aaron T. Beck generated a change as revolutionary as it was inspiring.
Martin Seligman, known for his studies on depression and learned helplessness, thought it was necessary to direct the field of psychology to another side: that of happiness. Aaron T. Beck, a pioneer in cognitive therapy, also taught us one thing: to be good with yourself, a certain positive filter is needed when you look outside ... and also inside us.
