Významným psychológom je Pán Seligman, ktorý rozpracoval pozitívnu psychológiu a ukázal, že optimizmus sa dá naučiť. Podľa neho je dôležitý spôsob, akým komunikujeme sami so sebou v ťažkých situáciách. Kniha Naučený optimizmus prináša náhľad na problematiku zaujímavým spôsobom a ponúka vedecký podklad pre svoje tvrdenia. Seligman zdôrazňuje, že mieru nášho optimizmu ovplyvňuje štýl našej vnútornej reči. Dôležité je, či sa nadobudnutý optimismus prejavuje v našich myšlienkach a reakciách. Kniha tiež obsahuje testy a zrozumiteľný jazyk, čo z nej robí obohacujúce dielo v súčasnosti.
