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

4.0

3.5 stars. Enjoyed this book a lot, and its challenge to the logic of positive thinking. I liked the author's journey into several different ventures to explore alternatives. However, parts felt incomplete. The chapter on goals, for example, seemed to be missing some steps in the chain of logic. It might be true that an obsessive focus on goals doesn't automatically lead to results. But does it follow that NOT having goals and just enjoying the process is a good way to organize things?
