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

4.0

This book somehow fell into my hands during a time of job transition (don't quite remember where the recommendation came from...), and I have found it enormously helpful. My last job included a manager who was a big time positive thinker who actually did very little -- if only summoning progress with good vibes was effective! I appreciated this survey of alternative approaches, mostly grounded in understanding that you may not always feel motivated or be guaranteed success, but you keep going (and growing!) anyway. While I checked this out of the library, I likely will buy a copy so I can pull it off the shelf when I need it.
