DESCRIPTION : What if 'positive thinking' and relentless optimism aren't the solution to the happiness dilemma, but part of the problem? Oliver Burkeman turns decades of self-help advice on its head and paradoxically forces us to rethink our attitudes towards failure, uncertainty and death. It's our constant efforts to avoid negative thinking that cause us to feel anxious, insecure and unhappy. What if happiness can be found embracing the things we spend our lives trying to escape? Wise, practical and funny, The Antidote is a thought-provoking, counter-intuitive and ultimately uplifting read, celebrating the power of negative thinking.'Burkeman has written some of the most truthful and useful words on happiness to be published in recent years' Guardian PRODUCT DETAILS : ISBN : 9781784709662 BY (AUTHOR) Burkeman, Oliver PUBLISHER : Vintage Publishing PUBLICATION DATE : July 12, 2018 COUNTRY OF PUBLICATION : United Kingdom IMPRINT : Vintage LANGUAGE : English AGE : General PRODUCT FORM : Paperback / softback DIMENSION : 198 mm x 129 mm WEIGHT : 181 g PRODUCT CATEGORY : Health, Relationships & Personal development Show more
