Trade review
A riposte to self-help books and the culture of 'positive thinking', this encourages the reader to rethink their attitude towards failure, uncertainty and death. It's a journey among people who believe that it's our constant effort to eliminate the negative which causes us to feel anxious, insecure and unhappy; and that we should embrace the things that we spend our time trying to avoid. Burkeman is the author of "Help!" and is a "Guardian" columnist.
