Bright-Sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America, by Barbara Ehrenreich.Skeptical about books and DVDs like The Secret that promise you can receive anything you want through the power of attraction?

Then you'll definitely enjoy Barbara Ehrenreich's latest work, Bright-Sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America. This carefully reasoned and calmly explicated study reveals the dark side of America's "bright side" businesses, from pushers of pink ribbons for breast cancer patients to the prosperity preachers who dominate the late-night airwaves and the executive coaches who lead coerced employees in the latest trendy team building exercises.
