ABSTRACT

This poem has much in common with the message of positive psychologists Barbara Frederickson (2001, 2003), Sonja Lyubomirsky (2008, 2013), and Martin Seligman (2006, 2011). It relates to the efforts of L2 positive psychology specialists Peter MacIntyre, Tammy Gregersen, and Sarah Mercer (2016). The Strategic Self-Regulation (S2R) Model, on which the present book is built, honors all who think deeply about emotions. It encourages emotional self-regulation and praises all who choose to regulate their emotions toward the positive. This includes brave L2 learners, their teachers, and others around them.
