The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking by Oliver Burkeman
5.0
The subtitle of this book is slightly misleading in my opinion.
This book doesn't necessarily dwell in negativity and pessimism. It does however, point out the pitfall of overly optimistic view of the world. In other words, this book reminds readers to have a realistic outlook in life, and doubts and uncertainty, is just part of everyday life, and no positive thinking can change that.
In general, I consider myself a positive person and I definitely can stand positive thinking. But I totaly can see the points this book is making, and think that this is an excellent read.
