Motivational Speaker Asks: Is There Any Real Value To Optimism?

August 13, 2010

Nothing makes my skin crawl like hearing a motivational cliché. “Look on the bright side!” “Make lemons into lemonade!” “Turn that frown upside down!” These expressions completely invalidate natural human responses to adversity.
