Speaking as somebody who can barely get his positivity ratio up to 1/3, let alone 3/1, I am deeply grateful for this post. N Nicholas S. Thompson Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Biology Clark University <http://home.earthlink.net/~nickthompson/naturaldesigns/> http://home.earthlink.net/~nickthompson/naturaldesigns/ From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of Roger Critchlow Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2013 10:35 AM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: [FRIAM] more fun in psychology http://narrative.ly/pieces-of-mind/nick-brown-smelled-bull/ and http://chronicle.com/blogs/percolator/the-magic-ratio-that-wasnt/33279 describe how the principles of "positive psychology" got their mathematical "foundations" demolished this summer.
