martin_ridgway 's review for:
The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking
by Oliver Burkeman
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness are, apparently "unalienable rights". No, I'm not going to blame the Americans for the whole self-help industry! A quick check on Wikipedia shows that the 1776 definition of happiness was "prosperity, thriving, wellbeing".
No, this "not really a self help book" self help book basically sets out the case that being happy all the time is probably not a good thing and a little bit more expectation management leads to a more stable outlook.
Useful advice, especially in the era of carefully curated and fake virtual personae?
