The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking by Oliver Burkeman
5.0
Absolutely lovely book covering the pitfalls of the modern self-help movement. Forcing yourself to be positive and only think positively is setting yourself up for failure and misery.
I enjoyed the individual sections on Stoicism, Zen Buddhism, Santa Muerta, the Museum of Failures, and so on. It was a good overview of the general practices of each and how to incorporate small bits into your own life to improve your personal viewpoint.
