How could I have not known what was coming response to my two words. Ignoring Mike's cordial and collegial tone, all I did was ask for extrapolation. Personally, I don't argue in favor of the positive ratio. I had my own doubts about such a sure fire equation as I read Fredrickson's stuff. I'm always suspicious about anything that is magically sure-fire, even numbers. But, Anton only put up a citation. So, I asked for a more fleshed out meaning, inference, interpretation, reflection. If you put aside that 3-to-1 apparent overreach aside, there is good stuff in "Positivity," and "Love," what you call the "squishy" and "soft" emotional concepts, which he is presently manifesting in his message, with which I've experimented with and applied in class. If you've read her stuff, as well as that of Seligman, Lyubomirsky, Dweck, Deci, Amabile, you'd be hesitant to throw the proverbial baby out with the bath water. Happy Halloween.
