Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Positive Psychology in Sport and Physical Activity
Abbe Brady · 2018
76/100
👍 Worth It
The first textbook to systematically apply positive psychology to sport and exercise, and it shows real ambition in bridging two growing fields. The case studies give it practical legs beyond theory, making it useful on a coach's shelf as well as in a university seminar. The academic tone keeps it from a wider readership, but for its intended audience it delivers.
