Kritik of Positive Thinking

Last night's Daily Show featured Barbara Ehrenreich. We watched it this morning while Ash got ready for work, I mean school. She savages what she calls the Positive Thinking Movement, or so I understand. Ash loves this, but of course I wasn't hearing it. Positive thinking is the key to all self-help, and I love self-help. One of my favorite genres, and one that I would like to eventually contribute a book to. I've been thinking about the Positive Thinking Movement all day, The Artist's Way, I Deserve Love, Scott Adams, Napoleon Hill, 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself.
