Advice Goddess Radio, LIVE, Tonight, 7-8 pm PT: Dr. Gabriele Oettingen, Rethinking Positive Thinking
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.

My guest tonight, NYU psychology professor Dr. Gabriele Oettingen, draws on more than 20 years of research on human motivation to show why conventional wisdom on "thinking positively" falls short. On tonight's show, she'll lay out her science-based method for achieving goals and explain why seeing the obstacles and not just the rainbows and pots of gold gives you your best chance for success.

Her book we'll be discussing is Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation.
