Resumen de Kool-Aid Psychology.
The article discusses how optimism became more important than realism in the positive-psychology movement. The author acknowledges he is an optimist by nature despite his thought that given enough time the upward trend of optimism will take a dramatic decline. He cites the concept of the “black swan,” which are unpredictable events, as a metaphor for the positive-thinking movement and presents a historical overview of the pioneers of the movement such as Norman Vincent Peale.
