Paradigms and Narratives for Sustainable Well-Being in Academic Life
McGovern, Thomas V.
Teaching of Psychology, v40 n4 p346-357 Oct 2013
I summarize multidisciplinary paradigms and best practices' recommendations for professional learning by higher education faculty members. This review leads to an innovative narrative model for academic life that synthesizes current personality and vocational psychology theory and positive psychology's emphasis on virtues and character strengths as a means to sustain well-being.
