The upside of your dark side review.

By scott crabtree it s with very mixed feelings that i write this review of the upside of your dark side. What i like about the upside of your dark side is how the authors incorporate scientific research positive psychology theory and personal anecdote to construct a cogent warts and all perspective of the human experience. Even though it features plenty of scientific research the narrative is very accessible to lay readers. 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.

This book brings humanity back to psychology in all its forms. It also fills the space around psychology as usual is for the broken and distraught. Emotions such as anger anxiety guilt and sadness might feel uncomfortable but it turns out that they are also incredibly useful. Sometimes they can even hold us back.
