Learned Optimism

This book would elaborate about optimism and pessimism as the title suggests and explain which one comes handy in different circumstances. Examples provided in the book is very interesting to illustrate the point.
Within this book author shows how can one change his thoughts/believes for better outcome and results when it's required. ABCDE(Adversity, Beliefs, Consequence, Dispute, Energy ) technique introduced within this book, is an interesting approach to deal with adversities in your life. Mentioned technique helps to have better awareness of our so called inner voice, analyzed them better and distract or dispute according to the type of adversity. Furthermore I like the part explained about the disputing negative thinking by analyzing Evidence, Alternatives, Implications, and Usefulness.
