Sinopsis

'Good Things' delves into the fascinating science of how humans identify, cultivate, and maintain positive experiences in their lives, bridging insights from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral research. The book introduces three fundamental principles: the subjective nature of positive experiences, how cognitive frameworks shape our perception of "good," and the neurological foundations underlying these perceptions.

 
Through a carefully structured approach, it demonstrates that recognizing and nurturing positive elements is a learnable skill rather than an innate ability. The book's unique strength lies in its interdisciplinary approach, weaving together findings from multiple longitudinal studies, including the prestigious Harvard Grant Study, with practical applications for everyday life.

 
Each section builds systematically upon the last, starting with the psychological mechanisms of positive-negative categorization, moving through sociocultural influences on our definition of "good things," and culminating in actionable frameworks for developing personal metrics of positivity. Case studies from clinical practice and research participants bring these concepts to life, making complex psychological principles accessible to readers.

 
While maintaining scientific rigor, the book offers practical tools and exercises for readers to assess and expand their awareness of positive experiences. It acknowledges individual differences and cultural variations in defining "good things," while providing evidence-based strategies for personal growth and enhanced life satisfaction. This balanced approach makes it particularly valuable for both psychology professionals and individuals seeking research-backed methods for improving their well-being through a deeper understanding of how they perceive and cultivate positive experiences in their lives.

    At a time in antiquity when most of Europe was covered with forests and wandering tribes, Mexico had already developed complex civilizations, beginning with the Olmecs and followed by the Maya, a civilization with advanced knowledge of medicine, engineering and astronomy. The Maya calculated the precession of the equinoxes and cycles of the Pleiades, on which they based their year, since they believed they had come from that constellation. The last, and perhaps most famous, great civilization before the arrival of the Europeans was the Aztecs. 
    With so many ancient peoples whose influence, beliefs, and modifications to the landscape extend to the present day, Mexico is fertile land for legends, ghosts, surprising places, and mysteries. A belief in communing with things that lie beyond (stars, constellations, and life after death), mysticism, and apparitions are intimately woven into the colorful fabric of the Mexican nation. 
    As for the United States, many Americans think the land has always had a dark side and a strange side. Monsters and ghosts lurk in its woods and old houses, and strange monuments that may be from a forgotten civilization puzzle local investigators. All the while, the early inhabitants themselves were always superstitious, as evidenced by history’s most famous witch trials. 
    Canada has the reputation of being a boring place, but dig a little below the surface, and you’ll find a different Canada, a stranger Canada, one of murder, mystery, and paranormal experiences. The stories that follow will show that Canada, far from being a dull, staid nation where nothing much happens, is an epicenter of the mysterious. 
    Mysterious North America: Mysteries, Legends, and Unexplained Phenomena across the United States, Mexico, and Canada offers a vast compendium of strange, unexplained, and just plain odd stories across North America’s various regions.

    Excerpt:
     
    Throughout history, the practice, adherence and belief in religion has been a virtually universal aspect of human society. And as a rule, the increase in complexity and sophistication of a given culture has borne with it an accompanying increase in the level of ethical and philosophical development of that society’s religious thought.
     
    Today, however, the world witnesses a level of civilization and social complexity far surpassing that of any previous era. Yet out of the great thoughts and discoveries of our time, no new major religion has evolved. Whatever new religious concepts may have appeared, they have failed to reach the masses of humanity in the form of altering basic beliefs and practices. Most of the new reforms that modern institutions sometimes announce with pride are actually negative in character; that is, the termination of outmoded practices and the relinquishment or reinterpretation of embarrassing dogmas. ...
