Video| Down with Positive Thinking
I’ve heard Barbara Ehrenreich talk and she does not mess around. Here is a critical conversation between The Atlantic‘s Hanna Rosin and her about the history of positive thinking, American religion and the housing crisis. Yes, they are connected.
Discussed:
- Barbara’s new book, Bright-Sided
- Cancer is not a “gift”
- America’s history of positive thinking
- Positivity and the corporate rebellion against rationality
- How the prosperity gospel fueled the housing bubble
- The value and bunkum of positive psychology
