This is a pretty funny and quick TED talk about positive psychology that I liked, though I wish it addressed the possibility and harms of self-delusion more.
Questions I now have about deliberately choosing positive thoughts:
How harmful is the self-delusion from choosing positive thoughts?
What does this self-delusion look like, e.g. what are some detailed examples?
How should we account for the dynamic that thinking more positively will actually make outcomes more positive, given that positive thinking makes you more productive in various ways?
What does it mean for your emotions or thoughts to be “more negative or positive than is granted”?
[Question] When is positive self-talk not worth it due to self-delusion?
