Tonight’s SBR review: Barbara Ehrenreich’s “Bright-Sided”

with 4 comments

Folks, you need to read Barbara Ehrenreich’s BRIGHT-SIDED.  You need to read it right now, then come back and talk with me — because this is the most honest take on what Ehrenreich calls “the cult of positive thinking” I’ve ever seen.

Here’s my review, which I finished about fifteen minutes ago at SBR:

I hope to have more thoughts about this astonishingly relevant book tomorrow, but for now, all I can say is, “Brava, Ms. Ehrenreich!”
