Includes bibliographical references and index.
Uncovering the dark side of the 'have a nice day' nation, Barbara Ehrenreich savagely attacks the tyranny of positive thinking in the United States. From contemporary religion to business and the economy, Ehrenreich argues that the insistence on being cheerful actually leads to a lonely and dangerous inwards focus.
