Abstract

Hossein Qoli, the hero of "The Tale of the Man Who Had No Lips" is a human being who experiences a long and far journey in search of the truth of happiness. Along this path, he encounters benevolent and caring external factors, all of whom try to make him understand that real happiness is different from its external manifestations that appear on the lips. Shamlu has consciously and very intelligently put his finger on one of the biggest problems of today's man: lack of vitality and lack of motivation and a solution to be happy and live happily! In this article, by using the Ellis-Seligman ABC model, which is one of the joy-creating techniques in positive psychology, the behavior of the main character of the narrative and the peripheral elements of the effect have been analyzed and investigated. Considering the affinities of the story hero's journey with mystical behavior, mystical decodings have been of interest as one of the aspects of reading in the analysis of this system. The results of the research indicate that the ABC model is consistent with the psychological actions of "Hossein Qoli" from the time of feeling depressed to reaching happiness; In addition, the induction of some stages of the hero's journey model overlapping with the ABC model has made it possible to clarify and analyze his behavior more precisely.
