Whatever the specifics, do you feel like things have gone off the rails - or are just about to? If you've read the news, watched a zombie movie, or gotten into an argument on Twitter lately, the answer is probably yes.
And you're not alone. What makes us such apocaholics? What's so appealing about Armageddon? What are the pleasures - and also the perils - of our pessimism?

The Pleasures of Pessimism (Re-considering Series)$8.99
I love how books broadens our horizon and reshape our paradigm. This book (or booklet) is one of them. This short book shows our fascination with pessimism. How pessimism is """"in"""", thrilling, yet it points to something greater. \\nMoore also shows the other side of pessimism - its perils. How it creates ignorance and polarisation. And how it ultimately rejects hope. \\nThis is a good short read to put your head in a space where it might not have wondered into.
