Seligman`s APA presidentshipSeligman (2003) observes that "Before World War II, psychology had
three distinct missions:-to cure mental illness.
- to make everyone's lives happier and more productive andfulfilling...
- The third was to identify and nurture high talent and genius"
Seligman stated, The notion of a Positive Psychology movement began at a moment intime a few months after I had been elected President of the American PsychologicalAssociation. It took place in my garden while I was weeding with my five-year old daughter,
Nikki. I have to confess that even though I write books about children, I'm really not all thatgood with them. I am goal-oriented and time-urgent and when I'm weeding in the garden, I'mactually trying to get the weeding done Nikki, however, was throwing weeds into the air and
dancing around. I yelled at her. She walked away, came back, and said, "Daddy, I want to talkto you."
"Yes, Nikki?"
"Daddy, do you remember before my fifth birthday? From the time I was three to the time Iwas five, I was a whiner. I whined every day. When I turned five, I decided not to whineanymore. That was the hardest thing I've ever done. And if I can stop whining, you can stop
being such a grouch."
