The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking By Oliver Burkeman
2012 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0865479410 , 192192148X | EPUB + MOBI | 2 MB


Is our search for happiness futile? Or are we just going about it the wrong way? In this fascinating new book, Oliver Burkeman argues that 'positive thinking' and relentless optimism aren't the solution to the happiness dilemma, but part of the problem. And that there is, in fact, an alternative path to contentment and success that involves embracing the things we spend our lives trying to avoid - uncertainty, insecurity, pessimism and failure. Thought-provoking, counter-intuitive and ultimately uplifting, The Antidote is a celebration of the power of negative thinking.
