Author: I’m pleased to announce the launch of our free custom search engine to help people find free online courses, guides, videos, e-books and audiobooks. With the exception of audiobooks all of the contents in the search engine should link to learning materials, from free university courses, right down to short instructional videos. We love it, and we think you will too. Feel free to play with it, and come often because we’ll be updating very regularly. Relieve the frustration of navigating spammy results in general search engines.

Authentic Happiness
Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman, 21st century psychologist
Martin Seligman is changing the world. As the former President of the American Psychological Association and Founder of the revolutionary “Positive Psychology” movement, he and his colleagues are literally creating a science of happiness. It’s amazing stuff.

Seligman is a well respected psychologist who originated the concept of learned helplessness many decades ago, a phenomenon that affects various mammals including humans. More recently, he moved out of the lab, and started working on the flipside — learned happiness. This video is a conversation with Dr. Seligman — about 23 minutes.
This is an amazingly detailed “course” in the work of analytical psychology leader, Carl Jung, on whose work, many of the style inventories are based including the MBTI and DISC. I suspect most MBTI users aren’t ambitious enough to understand Jungian Psychology, but now one can do so via this series of podcasts.
This podcast is devoted to the understanding of the analytical psychology of the great Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. Jungian analyst John Betts (who graduated from the International School of Analytical Psychology in Zurich, Switzerland) introduces listeners to Carl Jung’s theories of the structure of the psyche, the Anima & Animus, the Persona, Jungian dream interpretation, active imagination, individuation, and more! John Betts is incredibly lucid and articulate in describing these theories, providing real life examples and quoting Jung and other Jungians as he goes along. It’s basically a course on Jung, and one would do best to start with Betts’ first podcasts and work his or her way through them.
