What are the traits of a healthy and loving family? Is Speed Racer the greatest sports film ever made?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are taking a look at one of Alan’s all-time favorite films, Speed Racer. It’s a movie family (appreciation) therapy, celebrating a functional family through positive psychology. Jonathan evaluates the family’s healthiness using six points from the book, Character Strengths and Virtues: courage, humanity, temperance, justice, wisdom and knowledge, and transcendence. Alan goes on a filmmaking rant, but it’s a happy, emotion-filled rant. Crying with Alan, tears of achievement!
