erainbowd 's review for:
The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking
by Oliver Burkeman
Very much enjoyed Burkeman's voice reading this. Loved the premise. Found myself somehow a little disappointed by how much actual self-helpiness there was in here. It has a sort of spiritual seeker quality that I was surprised by!
But I learned a lot of very interesting stuff. I want to re-visit the chapter 4 that had to do with Goals. (Wish I'd gotten the actual book, rather than the audio, since I want to refer back to it. Virtually impossible with an audiobook.) Anyway - was very intrigued by the stuff about entrepreneurs and their lack of goal setting. That so many of the successful ones are like chefs who can make something with whatever's in the kitchen, rather than big planners who go out and by all the right ingredients. Intriguing.
