Preamble to a contrarian view -- Accentuating the negative: a strategy not a symptom -- What it's all about: the problem of anxiety -- Why can't a pessimist be more like an optimist? -- Taking cover: the avoider and the self-handicapper -- Negative thinking versus positive illusions -- No size fits all: different folks, different strategies -- When strategies clash: same boat, different strokes -- Dark side, bright side, my side: prospects for change.
