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

Oliver Burkeman has written a wonderful book that provides an alternative to the "positive thinking" "get happy" schools of thought. He investigates his intuition  that self-help programs could actually prevent you from being successful. He explores several tradition that embrace "negative" thoughts and comes up with a negative path for happiness that works for him.

Beautifully written, meticulously researched, provocative and...there's even a video trailer. Check it out!
