I'm in the same boat as you. I have to read a stupid "positive" book and I find it totally invalidating of people's emotions in general. It is written using all or nothing thinking and it encourages people to label others a negative label if they aren't on board with your goal for the future. It leaves no room for people who have varying ideas. You're either with the program or you're not. It lacks substance and common sense, although eighty percent of amazon readers give it four stars or up. I don't get it?. PM me if you want. I could go on and on and on about it.
