The upside of your dark side review.

This book brings humanity back to psychology in all its forms. Why being your whole self not just your good self drives success and fulfillment. The upside of your dark side neatly fills the empirical space between positive psychology is the best thing going and positive psychology is bunk. By scott crabtree it s with very mixed feelings that i write this review of the upside of your dark side.

And the authors would undoubtedly approve. Even though it features plenty of scientific research the narrative is very accessible to lay readers. Sometimes they can even hold us back. It also fills the space around psychology as usual is for the broken and distraught.

In the upside of your dark side two pioneering researchers in the field of psychology show that while mindfulness kindness and positivity can take us far they cannot take us all the way. Emotions such as anger anxiety guilt and sadness might feel uncomfortable but it turns out that they are also incredibly useful.
