Here's a few interesting things I've found around the web today.
Firstly, here's a list of "politically incorrect truths about human nature", according to Psychology Today. To be honest, I didn't really find them that politically incorrect but I'm sure it boosted their traffic.

Meanwhile, the Economist says that positive thinking may be bad for you if you have low self-esteem.
Dr Wood suggests that positive self-statements cause negative moods in people with low self-esteem because they conflict with those people's views of themselves.And finally, a not so good story in The People, which takes a rather alarmist tone about mental illness and violence. It fails to mention that such violence is very rare, accounts for a small proportion of overall violence and does not allow any comment by anyone from the Department of Health.
