this book really didn't seem very helpful for me. as another commenter described, the book seems to very heavily imply that being a pollyanna-ish person is a superior state of being -- AKA, ignorance is bliss. sure, i believe that. but it doesn't help those of us who can't look away from the real world. i get that my critique of the book sounds like a strawman, but i genuinely can't escape the interpretation of the argument that i proposed here on the basis of what the book says alone.
