How to fend off the "pathological optimism" all around us.
Clinical psychologist Kathy McMahon speaks on PEAK OIL VERSUS "PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMISM," recorded in Vancouver, Canada on October 18, 2010. Kathy McMahon has heard it all, through her blog Peak Oil Blues. She's been called "the Peak Shrink." She offers ways to fend off what she calls "pathological optimism" all around us. She also offers a new understanding of our reaction to learning about Peak Oil (or climate change, and the crumbling economy). These come from the many letters, sent in from all over the world, to McMahon's blog "Peak Oil Blues" (http://www.peakoilblues.com).
