Suffering from severe panic disorder, I've put a lot of effort into positive thinking and mindfulness. It's been exhausting and I really appreciate this TED talk from Barbara that reassures me I can stop putting SO MUCH effort into that crap, which seemed to be exacerbating my anxiety and panic. I'd much rather be a curmudgeon with a firm grasp on reality. And maybe a few cats. ;)
I finished her excellent book last night. One of the best reads I came across. Bright-sided: How Positive Thinking Is Undermining America - Barbara Ehrenreich Not being positive enough, I had to listen the the audiobook ;-)
That’s why there’s huge increase in depression and suicide in the United States. People aren’t facing reality. Denying problems doesn’t lead to a good solution.
Currently in the middle of her book, Nickel and Dimed, and I wish I had found it forever ago. It should be required reading for every high school student. Can't wait to dive into her other books.
A narcissistic culture encourages this type of thinking. Denial of the real problem by the head narcissist is a must and anyone who points out the problems will be cast out/scapegoated. Most people don’t want that so they go along with the thinking. It ends in disaster.
Having given away all UR power to a guy that could care less, & having chosen to raise his 2 children....is a sure indication of wrong outcome i.e his laughter all the way to the bank!
bless her hearrt only if she knew the power of thinking and speaking positive over your life. That is the key to manifestation, or speaking into existence in your life
Great talk. I too am disturbed by positive thinking and its victim-blaming mentality.

Excellent talk by a wise woman. Be realistic and work together for change.
