دراسة شخصية ميخائيل نعيمة في كتابه "مذكرات الأرقش" على أساس نظرية سليغمان الجديدة

Abstract EN

After revising his old theory of authentic happiness dealing with happiness, well-being, and life satisfaction, Professor Martin Seligman, the founder of positive psychology and the president of the American Psychological Association, realized that individualistic interpretation of the theory of authentic happiness and referring it to one cause is a gross mistake.

Accordingly, he introduced his new theory of well-being, the understanding of which requires a multi-dimensional theory, not a one-dimensional theory, and whose purpose is to enhance well-being and flourishing.

Mikhail Naima is one of the best literary and honorable figures of the new era.

The present study is aimed at examining Mikhail Naima’s personality throughout his story Mudhakkirāt al-ʾArqaš reflecting his personality.

In this story, Mikhail Naima places emphasis on the necessity of self-knowledge, truthfulness, meaning, flexibility, and other virtues.

However, his hero, Arqaš, chooses silence, inclines towards solitude and grief, and is steeped in bitter memories of the past.

Therefore, emotions and positive relationships are among the missing chains in his attitude and personality.
