Negative Positive
Title: Like facts? Look elsewhere.
Review: I began this book with high hopes, having enjoyed similar books (such as Malcolm Gladwell's "The Tipping Point") tremendously. But after the first two chapters, it became increasingly apparent that what I'd thought would be an objective consideration of middle-class discontent was simply an opportunity for Easterbrook to scold readers (and society at large) for their collective ability to stay on the sunny side.For an example of the logic you'll encounter in the book, consider this gem: at one point, Easterbrook argues that elderly Americans have no right to complain about the high cost of prescription drugs; after all, if those drugs didn't exist, seniors wouldn't be alive to complain.If you find this a compelling argument, you'll probably enjoy the book. If not, save your time for a more worthwhile read.
