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

4.0

By the author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals (NB: Not your typical time management book), The Antidote is another ANTI-self-help treatise and it’s a real gem. With chapters on such topics as trying too hard to be happy, stoicism, unrealistic goals, failure, insecurity, and death, it’s witty, erudite, fresh, and fascinating. And humorous. The audio is especially delightful with Burkeman narrating. I love listening to him and I’m sure I’ll listen to it again. His philosophy dovetails perfectly with my studio motto: Embrace Imperfection!
