	Is there a more stereotypically formulaic and unhelpful thing than a self-help book? Do ppl really try these?

Basically if you are a pessimist, you'll constantly feel like crap because you are constantly releasing bad chemicals into your body.

It's fairly well documented that prolonged stress will shorten your life. It's not even debatable. Few things in phycology have a stronger correlation than stress and life expectancy.

Here's a book that outlines it. The author uses this method for mild to even manic depressant people that need medication. It's working great for me to reduce my stress levels.

btw, here is a cliff notes version. If it resonates with you, read the above book.

Read that other link instead. The book goes into a lot of details with examples plus techniques.

That said, I skipped the last half of the book because it deals more with stuff that doesn't pertain to me (like being suicidal).
