Description: The Antidote: Happiness for people who can't stand positive thinking by Oliver Burkeman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Antidote- Happiness for people who cant stand positive thinking is an exploration of a radically new path to happiness.In an approach that turns decades of self-help advice on its head, Oliver Burkeman explains why positive thinking serves only to make us more miserable, and why getting motivated can exacerbate procrastination.Comparing the personal philosophies of dozens of happy people-among them philosophers andexperimental psychologists, Buddhists and terrorism experts, New Age dreamers and hard-headed business consultants-Burkeman uncovers some common ground. They all believe that there is an alternative negative path to happiness and success that involves coming face-to-face with, even embracing, precisely the things we spend our lives trying to avoid.Burkeman concedes that in our personal lives and the world at large, its our constant efforts to eliminate the negative-uncertainty, unhappiness, failure-that cause us to feel so anxious, insecure and unhappy.Hilarious and compulsively readable, The Antidote will have you on the road to happiness in no time.
