Hasta los cojones del pensamiento positivo

For too many years we have been given the idea that the magic recipe to be happy consists, simply, in seeing the good side of things. But, will focusing on what is pleasant make the problems disappear and the emotional pain they unleash vanish?. Buenaventura del Charco offers an intelligent and scathing critique of the sugary messages of self-help books that, under the colorful umbrella of "positive thinking", sell formulas for self-improvement and "personal growth" that cannot withstand an assault in the real world. An honest, courageous and direct work that, in the face of these ineffective and contentless recipes, focuses on how to face problems and understand one's own emotions in order to accept and overcome them, instead of ignoring them as if they did not exist, covering them with "glitter, unicorns and colored confetti".
