Positive Negatives

The heyday of positive-thinking self-help is over as popular psychology makes more room for negative emotions. We look into this development by considering the lessons in guilt, shame, sadness, struggle and other downcast feelings. How might they offer a more sober and grounded appreciation of 'happiness'? Why does it hurt so much to care? Tune in with a little help from Sandy Clarke and Eugene Tee.
