YES, THERE REALLY ARE SOME: Reasons to be Cheerful. On Freakonomics Radio, Stephen Dubner discusses how to  deal with the negativity bias in our news and in our brains. He interviews David Byrne of Talking Heads fame about Byrne’s good-news magazine and talks to a researcher who has developed software for filtering out depressing stories. And he chats with Roy Baumeister and me about our book, The Power of Bad: How the Negativity Effect Rules Us and How We Can Rule It. Bonus feature: I confess how I learned to create fake bad news early in my journalistic career.
