Punk Psychology. Against Positive and Naive Thinking

Who said that in order to be happy, one must think positively?Finally, here is a self-help book by an author who is ready to challenge such nonsense.It creates the impression that we live in an era where everyone must be... happy. Through therapy, meditation, yoga, spiritualism...—by any means. The problem is that if all of this worked, people would globally be happier and wouldn’t need such things at all. But alas. Negative thoughts arise and stay with us, despite all our efforts to get rid of them. And this is where we can change something.In his book, psychologist Viktor Amat successively debunks the myths of naive thinking and shows that we can benefit from any kind of thoughts and (surprise!) even negativity can lead us to a state of well-being.
