The book "Positive Psychology for Healthy Organizations: The Challenge of Primary Prevention in a Cross-Cultural Perspective" underlines the importance of a preventive perspective for healthy and sustainable organizations. The book presents a cross-cultural approach regarding problems and possible resources for strengthening healthy organizations.

The first part presents contributions that look to go beyond the dark side in organizations in a cross-cultural perspective, individuating new awareness, resources and perspectives. The second part aims to expand the horizons, particularly focusing on a primary prevention perspective with the aim of giving a contribution in concretely building healthy organizations. Thanks to the chapters of the different authors, this book is a relevant and substantive contribution in the framework of a cross-cultural approach to promote a positive preventive psychology for healthy organizations. The volume also stressed the value and the challenge of a primary prevention in a cross-cultural perspective for building healthy work environments.
