In this chapter, we describe the theory framing this study, present additional research on PYD, and present the details of the method used in the study. In addition, we provide an overview of the chapters in this book and discuss the ways in which the chapters illustrate different facets of the thriving process. Finally, we point to how the book offers directions for future research and for applications aimed at improving the life chances of diverse adolescents. %[ 2018-10-08 %9 Text %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
