Best book I've read since Freakonomics. Having a positive outlooks when there is nothing to be positive about is harmful.

Agree with that. There was a study done recently where it was observed that people who were forcing themselves to think positively ended up with more negative results 'cause their subconscious knows that they're in shit and no matter how much you tell yourself that 'everything is amazing' deep down you know that it's bullshit.
