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

5.0

This is a must read for any one who has been taken in by the positive thinking industry and realised that it doesn't work. Or for anyone who is interested in the psychology of happiness. Burkeman looks at the lives of people who embrace life without succumbing to the Goal setting, positive thinking, law of attraction bombardment that comes from the self help industry, and shows real scientifically proven evidence as to why positive thinking often leads you to be more unhappy, rather than being the life cure that self help gurus are so fond of administering to all regardless of life situation.
