Include the views of Martin Seligman
[edit]This article seems incomplete without including the views of Martin Seligman, a prominent researcher in this area. --Lbeaumont (talk) 21:22, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Citation
[edit]The citation under General Benefits of Flourishing of "(6) Lyubomirsky, S., King, L. A., & Diener, E. (in press). The benefits of frequent positive affect: Does happiness lead to success? Psychological Bulletin, 131, 803-855" clutters the sentence and seems unnecessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djrlandry (talk • contribs) 20:23, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Causes??
[edit]What factors cause people to flourish? Is it good parenting, good genes, medication, diet, relationships? The article doesn't mention or discuss causes at all Crawiki (talk) 08:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Reference format
[edit]The references in this article are a mix of list-defined templated references and short footnotes. I can't personally see the point of using short footnotes in this article since none of the references refer to specific page ranges. Hence, if there are no comments to the contrary, I will convert the sfns to templated LDRs to match the style of the rest of the article. Wham2001 (talk) 11:41, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

To Capitalize or not to capitalize?
[edit]The section "Biblical theology" discusses the concept of flourishing through the lens of Jesus Christ, with his words and deeds attributed to uncapitalized pronouns. I'm not much of a church guy, but I do try to be as accommodating as possible regarding respecting the conventions of others' faiths. Facing this particular conundrum and lacking guidance, I thought it prudent to ask the crowd: should all instances of "he" and "him" in this section (and exclusively this section) be capitalized?
See, while editing the section just a moment ago, I was shifting portions of a sentence around in an effort to improve the flow without fundamentally compromising the intent of the original author. At one point in the process I ended-up with a "Him" that moved from the first word to the middle of the sentence, the sight of which shook loose something deep in my memory. Something church-y.
Capital-H "Him," that's a bible thing, right? Right. However, Wikipedia is an academic source, with concomitant formatting conventions of its own. Right. So, big-H or little-h -- when talking about Ol' JC in a purely academic context (and if indeed this is a purely academic context), what is the proper convention? 🆃🆁🆂™ 06:07, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
