Contributors to this volume have illustrated the global reach of the positive psychology movement through highlighting hundreds of researchers striving on virtually every continent to better understand and apply scientific knowledge of the life well lived. These authors have connected the accomplishments of researchers throughout each region to aspects of shared history, language, culture, economics, education, government, and science within each region and nation that have shaped the development of positive psychology in that part of the world; and, where national experiences or differences were relevant, distinguished those factors within regions as well. What has resulted is a massive and diverse picture of positive psychology’s adherents and advocates, which nearly every author admitted was but a skim of the surface of work being done throughout each geographic area.
