Author and Social Critic
Barbara Ehrenreich is an author and social critic known for her works exploring the intersections of economics and social issues, including her book 'Bright-Sided'.
"Good vibes only" culture has a dark side — when positivity becomes mandatory, it quietly tells people that their suffering is a personal failure. Barbara Ehrenreich, Martin Seligman, and Brené Brown debate whether the relentless push for optimism is uplifting or just a socially acceptable way of blaming people for their own pain.
