A masterpiece on the power of pessimism (If you have to ask "Why can pessimism be good?", you probably have been so brain-washed living in the echo chamber of fairy tale. Please choose red-pill and throw away the blue-pill ASAP).
Highly recommended for anyone who can read Chinese (Unfortunately it has no English translation).
Positive vibes are overrated, sometimes they even create pressure on people, forcing them to be more positive, achieve more and happier. This book on negative energy takes a rare yet realistic angle to let you understand that most of the time, we can’t change anything; and “meaning of life” is overrated. Once we realise these facts, it becomes easier for us to make peace with ourselves and our lives. Humorous quotes also.
Are you fed up with those dumb motivational quotes, ranging from the meaningless "Be yourself", to the dangerous "Follow your passion", to the outright false "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"? Well, this book won't eradicate them from the face of this world, or even provide a comprehensive rebuttal of all of them, but at least it will discuss some of them with a generous dosage of negative humour.
