You wouldn't believe what people say to you after you're diagnosed -- e.g., Your attitude is the only thing.<br />Well, no it's not. Your pathology report, whether you have medical insurance, how much support you have from family and friends are all powerful predictors. Too much blind, lockstep optimism is harmful and can be used to blame those who don't survive.ruth pennebakerhttp://www.geezersisters.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465858359830766934.post-17609562952315293452009-10-10T22:41:54.086-04:002009-10-10T22:41:54.086-04:00I used to be a political consultant, and as such h...I used to be a political consultant, and as such hob-nobbed with a lot of big time businessmen. They absolutely needed to practice positive-speak, if not positive-think, or they would be ostracized as (gasp!) negative. So I can buy her argument about that attitude helping lead to our financial downturn--which of course is too complex to have just one parent.<br /><br />I have requested that people trying to get me to feel good about myself not follow me on twitter. I feel good enough, thanks.

It comes in handy when you are facing hardships and need to get some impetus to make a move. However, it should not blind-side you into thinking that nothing else exists and the world is perfect. Interesting to hear her view on the impact of positive thinking on societal downfall.Sheryl Krafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07807866522747156272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465858359830766934.post-83188299858602916232009-10-10T20:08:24.603-04:002009-10-10T20:08:24.603-04:00I think there's probably a middle ground.

That's because I generally doubt myself in situations where I just shouldn't. So thinking positive (I can do this. Look at how many other hard things I've done. People really do respect me, etc), does help. It also helps when I'm stuck in a rut--when life generally sucks and it's just one bad thing after another hitting me. When I remind myself that it won't suck forever? It helps. I think that positive thinking went off the deep end, though, with The Secret and with any number of motivational speakers who linked it with money and career success. Thinking, "I will be rich" isn't going to get anyone any closer to being richer than playing roulette. And I agree that that type of flawed thinking--along with a healthy dose of greed--is what is causing our downfall.<br /><br />Thanks for this review. I'm very interested to read her book.Alisa Bowmanhttp://www.projecthappilyeverafter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465858359830766934.post-38119839843193029192009-10-10T17:00:59.814-04:002009-10-10T17:00:59.814-04:00Thank you for bringing this book to our attention....Thank you for bringing this book to our attention. My husband, from Sweden, has followed her writings for some time. The Nordic countries in general have a totally different attitude towards poverty. It's unfortunate that socialism has such a bad rep in the USA. Even though a lot of European governments are not socialists, they share the same values as Sweden's Social Democrats. No one wants the type of Social Darwinism that exists in the USA!Alexandra Grabbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290396567494638238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465858359830766934.post-742440461245599492009-10-10T15:14:41.505-04:002009-10-10T15:14:41.505-04:00Very interesting.
