It's been a year since you wrote the comment, but the book still is sinking in. A similar theme is present in the recent book I found on the counter of Kinkos/Fedex - "Happy for No Reason".

There was a Japanese psychologist a few years back who said something similar. All I remember was his metaphor that emotions are like playing a record - by revisting bad feelings, we tend to wear grooves that make it all too easy for us to slip back into them. He was saying, if you feel sad, don't wallow in it in you jammies eating ice cream - that doesn't make you feel better! Hi – I really liked that post.
