We live in an age when reality TV shows climax in a tearful finale.
But feeling sad – genuinely sad – is still taboo. Yet, sadness
happens to us all, sometimes in heartbreakingly awful ways. If we
don’t know how to be sad, it can be isolating for those
experiencing it and baffling for those trying to help others
through dark times. Today, most of us know intellectually that
‘sad’ is normal. But we’re not always brilliant at allowing
for it, in practice. Sadness is going to happen, so we might as
well know how to ‘do it’ right. And it’s time to start facing
our problems and talking about them. Positive psychology may have
become more accepted in mainstream culture, but rates of depression
have continued to rise. We’re trying so hard to be happy. But
studies show that we could all benefit from learning the art of
sadness and how to handle it, well. We cannot avoid sadness so we
might as well learn to handle it. Helen Russell, while researching
 two previous books on happiness,  found that today
most of us are terrified of sadness. Many of us are so phobic to
averse to negative emotions that we don’t recognise them.
