Positive Thinking again

блин, это даже не pop-psychology, это просто fraud, говоря по-русски - наебалово. хуже, они сами в это верят. The Problem With Positive Thinking

In a 2011 study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, we asked two groups of college students to write about what lay in store for the coming week. One group was asked to imagine that the week would be great. The other group was just asked to write down any thoughts about the week that came to mind. The students who had positively fantasized reported feeling less energized than those in the control group. As we later documented, they also went on to accomplish less during that week.

и обсуждают даже:  The pioneers of positive thinking did not promote the chasing of impossible dreams, but a healthful and realistic sense of self, which is a cornerstone of achievement.
