“The effort to try to feel happy is often precisely the thing that makes us miserable.” ― Oliver Burkeman,

The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking is a witty, fascinating, and counterintuitive listen / read that turns decades of self-help advice on its head and forces us to rethink completely our attitudes toward failure, uncertainty, and death.
