I'm not really a fan of the "positive thinking" movement. Which is ironic given that I'm a Psychologist. But the thing is..... you can't manufacture positivity. Inserting more positive thoughts for the negative ones you've been chewing on doesn't work. Believe me. My patients tell me every day. They try really hard to do it. We live in a culture where we're supposed to buck up, harden ourselves to the stressful world, and get positive somehow in the face of adversity. Congr
