Wikipedia

Martin Seligman appears 10 times across 9 documents in the Epstein files, primarily in what appears to be a contact list email and various scanned documents. The most notable mention is in an email titled 'list for bannon steve' alongside other prominent figures.

The mentions span several document types, with the clearest reference being in a 2019 email (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_029622) from Epstein to himself containing a list of names that includes 'seligman' alongside other academics and public figures like 'brockman,' 'hillis,' and 'kaufman.' Several mentions appear to be unrelated individuals with the surname Seligman (like 'SELIGMAN ARLINE M' in property records) or 'Martin' appearing separately. One substantive mention appears in a book excerpt from 'The 4-Hour Workweek' that references 'Martin Seligman of Princeton' in the context of happiness research. The context suggests potential association with Epstein's circle of academic and intellectual contacts.
