PEIIPWLHEC()AN'Thelp'books. Thesebooks promise to make us more confident, more sociableand more
successful.They tell us that allwe really need to find love and achieve our goalsis a

STANPDOSITIVEpositive attitude.
If you are amused by promises like these,then Oliver Burkeman'sbookThe Antidote
THINKING might just be for you. Burkeman has travelled the world in searchof happinessand he
has found it in some very unusual places.For example,he meets poor people in Africa
bv Oliver Burkeman who seemto be happier than somewealthy people he knows in London. For Burkeman,
this showsus that people who do not owrl very much cannot worry about losing it. In
other words, having a lot of things can add a lot of stressto our lives.Of coursehe is not
sayingthat poor people in Africa have an easylife. Instead,Burkeman usesthis example
to talk about 'negative Pathsi
A 'negative path' is important for a satis$ring life' He suggeststhat we need to remind
ourselvesthat bad things happen and that we should learn to live with them. True
happiness - if it exists- must include both positive and negativeexperiences.A complete

life should be one that knows hate as well aslove and illness aswell ashealth.

In my favourite part of the book, Burkeman takes us to a small village in Mexico on the
Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead is a festivalthat celebrateseveryonewho has
died. However, it is not a sad festival at all, but a colourful party for friends and family.
According to Burkeman, we need eventslike this to remember why we should be happy
more often. TheAntid,oteis an interesting book that has the ability to make you feel that

happinessreally is possible.
