I think positive psychology has a lot of potential in EA, but AIUI, even the author of “Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha” is far from saying that these teachings can trivially eradicate all human suffering. They are quite worthwhile in other ways and should definitely be part of positive psychology in a broader sense, but they’re not a silver bullet.
