0:00.0	This guest has had such an impact on my life. He is the founder of the entire field of
0:12.0	positive psychology and he's made an enormous change in the whole industry and he's on with
0:18.2	his co-author of his latest book. Their book is called Tomorrow Mind, Thriving at Work
0:22.9	with Resilience, Creativity and Connection, now and in an uncertain future. So it's called
0:27.0	Tomorrow Mind and it's by Martin Seligman and Gabriella Rosen-Kellerman. I originally
