Re: "Positive Thinking" vs. Reality and Collective Power
From my experience, Corporate America has been promoting this required "contrived exhuberance and eager synchophantic behavior" for 30 years. I prefer to call it Corporate Fascism but whatever it's called the Woman Speaker in the Video is correct. The Corporate world does not expect nor respect talent, knowledge and experience: They Demand Cheerful Obedience.
I've seen more Morons advanced through a Company for no other reason than them exhibiting this behavior. Until I saw this Video it seemed that I was the only person out there having arrived at these conclusions, particularly Why people are let go or laid-off.

Re: "Positive Thinking" vs. Reality and Collective Power
There's nothing wrong with positive thinking (actually, it's key) but positive thought in a vacuum, without an active approach to any given agenda, is useless. Thought creates, but only in partnership with action.
Re: "Positive Thinking" vs. Reality and Collective Power
There's nothing wrong with positive thinking when used appropriately - when going thru hard times, a positive way of looking at a situation can encourage one to take action.
Negative thought patterns can result in a downward spiral into depression and consequent inactivity. Depression can also affect a person physically.
Positive thinking has been made into a conformist cult of mindless jolliness.
I am not sure why corporations have decided to embrace this nuttiness as standard practice. It might be due to all the goofball, con-artist "motivational speakers" that they tend to hire to entertain the troops.
As for "The Secret", at one point in the movie the statement is made "Why do you think that 90% of the world's wealth is held by 1% of the population? It's because they know THE SECRET". Yeah, right. How about "because they know the power of fractional reserve banking"?
That movie is subtle propaganda. It was basically an "indie film" and the marketing campaign for it was extensive and costly. I'd like to know who was financiing it.
Re: "Positive Thinking" vs. Reality and Collective Power
Andie531,
I agree that a positive attitude about life and the unknown future is, overall, much preferred and beneficial than the opposite. I do believe what the Corporate World demands is nothing but coercion, hardly different than going through a TSA checkpoint. One is offerred two very undesirable choices with TSA and if you refuse arrest ensues and fines are levied. In the workplace you are given, ultimately, one choice and the punishment for non-compliance is an eventual loss of ones means for survival (for most). A banishment of sorts for an infraction having nothing to do with work duties but office politics and sociopathic demands for synchophancy.
We're not discussing "positive attitudes" here but forced behavioral expectations with the actual threat of catastrophic consequences. This is State-Corporate Fascism. It is wrong, it's offensive to one's freedom and people have every right to be outraged; particularly in the Land of the Free-Home of the Brave.
