Sample Book Insights:
#1 Toxic positivity is the belief that everything is great, and you canât imagine anything ever being worse. It has now entered the building.
#2 Toxic positivity is the idea that youâll have more time off now, and while things could be worse, youâll likely learn some lessons from the experience. However, youâre not there yet. Youâre still worried and upset.
#3 Positive thinking is not all bad, but it has become so integrated into our culture that it feels strange to challenge it. We have been taught that positive feelings like gratitude, contentment, optimism, and self-confidence are the keys to happiness, and we force these feelings on ourselves because society tells us to.
#4 The shame spiral of toxic positivity occurs when we get mad at ourselves for having a feeling, and then we tell ourselves that we shouldnât be feeling it. We then get mad again when a couple of just smile platitudes donât bring us endless positivity.
