According to his teachers and classmates at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan University, Kundal Kamle's defining trait was his relentless sense of injustice. A humanities undergraduate and student-union leader, Kamle spent much of his time whipping up political passions, hectoring passersby through megaphones and blocking the main road outside the campus with banners or burning tires.

Despite securing...
Over the decades, a few psychological researchers had ventured out of the dark realm of mental illness into the sunny land of the mentally hale and hearty. Some of Seligman's own research, for instance, had focused on optimism, a trait shown to be associated with good physical health, less depression and mental illness, longer life and, yes, greater happiness. Perhaps the most eager explorer of this terrain was University of Illinois psychologist Edward Diener, a.k.a. Dr. Happiness.
