Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Therapist's Notebook on Positive Psychology
William Hudson O'Hanlon · 2012
80/100
👍 Worth It
A genuinely useful clinical workbook with 75 reproducible handouts that practitioners can put straight to work, backed by a credible Routledge imprint and authors with real field credentials. The 2011 date means some positive psychology evidence has shifted, and it is strictly a professional tool, not a self-help read. For licensed clinicians building a practical resource library, it earns its place on the shelf.
