Half Empty is a 2010 collection of essays by This American Life contributor David Rakoff. The essays all deal with the concept of pessimism and how it can be surprisingly adaptive. Although humorous in tone, Rakoff addresses some serious issues, such as his own cancer diagnoses (there have been, so far, two).
