Toxic Positivity: How to Break Free from the Cult of Optimism and Learn to Experience Real Emotions

Welcome to a world where sadness is a crime, and real emotions are almost forbidden.
 
This book is a manifesto against the dictatorship of "positive thinking," which forbids people from being vulnerable. The author, a practicing psychotherapist, not only debunks the... myth of the benefits of optimism but also provides practical and clear steps on how not to submit to the cult of eternal joy and learn to experience real emotions.
 
You will learn:
— Why "positive beliefs" hinder acceptance of grief, loss, and emotional pain.
— How anxiety and apathy often arise precisely from the forced pursuit of happiness.
— What really happens when we forbid ourselves to feel sad.
— How to return to yourself - the real, imperfect, and feeling one.
