3.75 stars.
The title of this book is terrible, but the content is good, and the ideas interesting, it just felt too stretched out and should have been more tidy.
The overall concept is that life can't be only happiness. That "dark" feelings have utility and value; and we should utilize them rather than avoid.
For example, try imaging the civil rights movement progressing without anger. Equally important is how politeness can actually be harmful. It can cause miscommunication but more often than not when we try to be polite, we actually end up offending the person more and people who witness the encounter think we're rude.
