Positive Psychology owes its success to the efforts and contributions of Several humanistic psychologists, most notably Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, and Erich Fromm. It also owes its success to numerous pioneers (other than Martin Seligman), such as Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Christopher Peterson, Sonja Lyubomirsky, Barbara Fredrickson, Ed Diner, Paul Wong and many more scientists who have worked hard to bring people happiness and well-being.
