"Everyone wants you to be happy: Self-help books dish out advice on how
to stop worrying, boost happiness, and banish negative thoughts; bosses
want to see smiling enthusiasm in the workplace; and the only way to
respond to “how are you?” is with a joyful “great!” But according to
Svend Brinkmann, a psychology professor at Denmark’s Aalborg University,
the culture of positivity has a dark side."
Mandatory happiness considered harmful. Via Greg Batmarx.
