The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking by Oliver Burkeman

3.0

Happiness is a sucker's game. The problem is that striving to be happy leads to worrying about being happy, or rather, about not being happy. Which is why most self-help, power of positive thinking systems (like most diets) are doomed. Happiness is a part of life rather than an ultimate goal. Here, the author examines and experiences alternate approaches to "happiness," including stoicism and meditation.
