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

5.0

Wish this had a different title, as "The Antidote" sounds like the ego/hubris of the self-help/motivational Ponzi schemes he dissects. The subtitle is much more representational of the content, and even then, this isn't preaching, it's just journalism (with a touch of British sarcasm) contrasting various philosophies, and referencing scientific studies to point out when they're actually achieving the opposite of stated goals or when they're actually onto something which could be beneficial. This is more of what I wanted from Huxley's The Perennial Philosophy and The World's Religions when I read them way back in the day.
