Abstract
In this chapter, the authors introduce themselves and contextualize why they wrote this book. A collaborative autoethnographic approach is employed, whereby the authors’ voices are distinguished. The authors then introduce positive autoethnography (PosAE) and briefly contem-plate its roots and association to pragmatic autoethnography (PAE), and why it can be of utility as a research methodology in positive psychology (PP) and beyond, including as a therapeutic intervention.
