The Power of Bad examines the psychological negativity bias—the tendency for bad experiences, information, and impressions to affect us more strongly than good ones. Drawing on research and examples from relationships, politics, media, and everyday life, John Tierney and Roy F. Baumeister explain how to recognize and counteract this bias, while using its insights constructively.
