Bright-Sided by Barbara Ehrenreich

Anyone who isn't interested in self-help advice, but does like good cultural critique, should check out this review of Barbara Ehrenreich's Bright-Sided

"Ehrenreich wonders why, if we are so positive and happy, are so many of us on anti-depressants, the most commonly prescribed drug in the U.S. and represents two-thirds of the global market for the drug?"

Ehrenreich is cantankerous as always in Bright-Sided, and it's a quick and entertaining listen if you've enjoyed her other books, or if you're tired of hearing about The Secret.  If nothing else, it's always fun to get the opposing point of view on huge pop culture trends.
