The real way positive psychology got its start has been a secret until now. When I was president-elect of the American Psychological Association in 1997, my e-mail tripled. I rarely answer phone calls, and I never do snail mail anymore, but because there is a twenty-four-hour-a-day bridge game on the Internet, I answer my email swiftly and diligently. My replies are just the length that fits the time it takes for my partner to play the hand when I am the dummy. (I am seligman@psych.upenn.edu, and you should feel free to email me if you don't mind one-sentence answers.)
