Professor Martin Seligman Joins the
Julian Jaynes Society Science Advisory Board

Professor Martin Seligman

The Julian Jaynes Society is honored to welcome Professor Martin Seligman to the Science Advisory Board!

Martin E.P. Seligman is the Zellerbach Family Professor of Psychology and Director of the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, where he focuses on positive psychology, learned helplessness, prospection, optimism and positive education. He is a best-selling author of several books, including Flourish. His most recent book is The Hope Circuit, his autobiography. He received the American Psychological Society’s William James Fellow Award for basic science, the Cattell Award for the application of science, and three Lifetime Distinguished Scientist awards from the American Psychological Association. In 1996, Seligman was elected President of the American Psychological Association by the largest vote in modern history. His mission is the attempt to transform social science to work on the best things in life – strengths, positive emotion, good relationships, meaning, and human flourishing.

Professor Seligman attended Julian Jaynes’s course on consciousness while an undergraduate student at Princeton University and he has maintained a long standing interest in Julian Jaynes’s theory.
