It's subtitles "How the Relentless Promotion of Positive<br />Thinking Has Undermined America" and looks at the positive thinking movement in cancer care, positive psychology, and the prosperity gospel. It's a very readable, well-reasoned, and skepticism-heavy look at the cult of positivity.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495580132242046185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-5817789126080001032010-04-14T01:50:57.024-05:002010-04-14T01:50:57.024-05:00The whole concept is fraught with comedy ape floun...The whole concept is fraught with comedy ape floundering.

This is the religion of Republican capitalism. The poor deserve to be poor. The rich deserve to be rich. The rich are more righteous than anyone else. It's all part of God's plan. <br /><br />Any philosophy that is as self serving as this one sickens me, and this is one of the worst.<br /><br />Blessed Atheist Bible Study @ http://blessedatheist.com/KKbundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09558315706234208849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-8089450096685807932010-04-11T12:50:12.852-05:002010-04-11T12:50:12.852-05:00I'm looking forward to listening to it.
