  1. fifi and I read this book by Seligman a while ago. It's good. We scored on opposite ends of the scale. At the time fifi was telling friends "Yep, we're reading a book about pessimism."

    She was gracious enough to laugh when I pointed out what the actual title of the book was!

  2. A friend lent us the book. I'm an optimist and Andrew is a pessimist.

    Was the book useful for you guys?

  3. Fifi found it "very helpful". I loved it because anything that confirms what I already think makes me feel smug. Fifi would say this is a Bad Thing, but she still found it v good.
