I allow the semaphores generated from the friction of my interactions with the reality around me to provide some guidance. Recently I took to reading Barbara Ehrenreich's Bright Sided which could be summed up as a pessimistic's view of reality, or a jaded person's view condemning the continuing "positive thinking", or just a person's opinion.

The spectrum of reviews and accompanying discourse present a good picture of the polarizing nature of the material. I am, of course, inclined to believe that individuals seeking to make an argument against the character of the person are in some genuine way threatened by the message.

I think the foolishness of the optimism, as outlined by Ehrenreich, is the belief that there is an abundance of wealth, health, and love that rests in the universe and you must simply learn to will it yourself. There is simply not enough evidence to support this theory in the matters even of heath (save some studies that were cited about heart health).
