Description
Are optimists just reckless dreamers? Are pessimists miserable doom-mongers or just erring on the side of caution?
Is the glass half empty or half full?Brilliantly compiled and beautifully written, this is a rich anthology of evidence from both sides of any argument.
Covering everything from Beauty to Happiness, Patriotism to Walking, it is the perfect tool for squabbling families, a counterbalance for arguing couples and a mine of detail for the quarrelsome.
The Optimist on the Afterlife: My heaven will be filled with wonderful young men and dukes. (Dame Barbara Cartland)And the Pessimist: 'That's what Hell will be like, small chat to the babbling of Lethe about the good old days when we wished we were dead. (Samuel Beckett)
