Yep. I've accepted a spot in the initial class for the Masters in Applied Positive Psychology at Penn under Martin E.P. Seligman. Starts in September! I'm really looking forward to it. I've been studying this area anyway since I read Learned Optimism in 2003. For more info, see the category of Optimism/Pessimism on this blog or my book note on Authentic Happiness.

You never cease to surprise me.
You truly are a Renaissance person.
Your blog would have fascinated my Dad.
Good luck with the Masters program.
And, on a totally unrelated note, I've picked Tennessee to go further than UK in my NCAA bracket sheet this year.
(Have to honor my Tennessee roots!)
Take care and hey to T and your guys.

Feb. 2006, What are you doing (employment) with your Master of Applied Positive Psy? I am a teacher in Alaska and am very interested in the OTHER job possibilities for this Masters .
I'm 56 and want a change. How has your journey been and where are you in your quest for education?

I'm a bit envious. I love school. I never realized how much until I finally graduated.
Good for you. Study hard.

Dave -- This will be very interesting. I look forward to following your journey. It will be good to read about your experiences especially since behavioral psychology is behind so much of what is wrong with our public schools. I will be interested in your take on applied psychology ---
