Some make millions for Authors who take those papers and cite them in popular psych books. The actual authors of the papers are rarely, if ever, making millions

  The 9 million dollars in grants that the author received probably were also completely wasted, since someone that would randomly apply CFD equations to people is unlikely to have published worthwhile research.

    Remains to be tallied how many of her research assistants on those projects went on to have careers in the field... Careers which are now more or less tainted by the association. Even harder to tally: How many of those deserve to be more tainted because they saw it for what it was but didn't speak up. (Yeah, I know, hard to do for a lowly assistant.)

  I don't know whether it made millions, but Fredrickson did write a pop-psych book based on the critical positivity ratio: Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3-to-1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life.

    "Top-Notch" is the giveaway.
