A very enlightening (and frustrating!) look at the origination and proliferation of the cult of positive thinking in America. I've never subscribed to the feel-goodism philosophy, and it was interesting to learn of its roots and just why it's taken over so many aspects of one's daily life within the family and workplace. Relentless, blind optimism sucks!
