Document Summary
2: eastern and western perspectives on positive psychology. Be familiar with all the eastern (and western) philosophical views in this chapter. Western influences (p. 20-22): do these various views (athenian, judeo-christian) have anything in common in the characteristics they deemed virtuous? . Eastern influences (p. 23 and on) i want you to be able to distinguish these religions from each other in a general way. What is the goal here?

(p. 32-33) You do not need to memorize the virtues, but pay attention to the last sentence of the section on buddhism (p. 25). What is the goal of life, with respect to reincarnation, and how does this goal give motivation to the quest of one"s life? (p. 25, mid-page) Which is best, according to your text? (p. 33) in class, we will discuss benefits and limitations of both.
