Do you have dark thoughts?

Such as "I am no good." Or "No one likes me." Or worse.

Even if you don't, here's an NPR podcast that delves into the secret history of thoughts while giving us two real stories that begin in pretty dark fashion. Both, however (especially the second one), end on such a joyous note you will get a kick out of listening to them.

Of course, ultimately, this is a great piece of (audio) journalism.

You can also subscribe to "Invisibilia" on the Podcast Addict app, which is my favourite app for listening to podcasts while I'm driving to and from work.
