It cured me!

Smith's book had me cheering. It cured me of the notion that I had to put a positive spin on life, like one of those happy faces from the '80s. Smith is not a cynic, quite the opposite. He seems like a jovial fellow who simply won't go along when, for example, he's at a concert and is told "Come on, everybody sing!" He shows how the relentless positive-thinkers among us create misery by demanding happiness out of every experience--an impossibility since life is a mixed bag of happy and sad and everything in between. I'm grateful to this book for helping me see life as it is, not as I would like it to be. Strangely enough, I'm now more inclined to see the "positive" than ever before.
