This is honestly the first time I am hearing about this bullshit and... I honestly struggle to care.
The realm of TED talks and academics patting themselves on the back and writing coffee table books is not the real world. Of course these idiots are charlatans -- "happiness advantage" -- what a crock of shit!
This has no bearing on most people with actual psychological issues. You would never tell them to ignore issues or minimize them while working through it.
Just more mental junk food for the feminized and lazy academic class.
Here's how I see it: everyone sees how bad things are. Everyone with two neurons to bump together can see we are headed for some bad times... but no one knows exactly where or when the dominoes are gonna start to fall.
Go watch some old clips of South Park where people stuck their heads in the ground to ignore the world. There is your "positive psychology."

Oh believe me, that precise discussion was had, this morning, in this course, and indirectly resulted in the biggest Zoom shit-fight I have ever seen…
So while I completely agree with you, you’d be surprised at how heavily this shit is being pushed, if today’s experience is any example…
I tried to argue pretty much what you just said, only to end up being called a “privileged white male” (by the instructor, no less)…
It was nuts.
I am not surprised how hard this is being pushed.

It is a problem, and it is affecting us.
We can fight it, which may be a futile effort... or we can just bide our time until the system collapses under their own hubris.
