"Are you tired of always being told to "look on the bright side"? Are you criticized for imagining worst case scenarios? Do you wish your optimistic friends would just leave you alone and let you be negative? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be one of the millions of people who have learned to cope with the pressures of modern life by using Defensive Pessimism, a strategy of imagining the worst-case scenario of any situation. Dr. Norem shows how indulging in negative thoughts like these actually helps people go on to do their best by preparing for the worst."
