RSA Animate - Smile or Die

Another cool RSA Animate that I hadn't seen before.

Acclaimed journalist, author and political activist Barbara Ehrenreich explores the darker side of positive thinking.

The animation above is based on the longer lecture by Ms. Ehrenreich, which is based on her recent book, Bright-Sided: How Positive Thinking Is Undermining America.
