I do agree with her point that in an office setting people place far too much emphasis on comfort and being a chipper, team-player. As for the idea that this widespread use of positive thinking as an agent of social control, I don't think it's as overt or intentional as she presents it, but I'll admit, the thought has crossed my mind.
