Very nice article idea!
Commandment number 11 of positive psychology in songs should be “Singing in the rain” by Frank Sinatra – it is just such a positive song overall! (and it always reminds me to be happy even though the circumstances might not be perfect… a noteworthy take on things!)

Thanks for the article, Nico. Really nice idea!
Here are possible 12, 13, 14 and 15. Just my two cents. 🙂
12) Don’t worry, be happy – Bobby McFerrin (http://goo.gl/FsXRhb) Ok, that one was obvious. 😉
13) Baut wieder auf – Madsen (http://goo.gl/aK2Zdi) about building what is making you strong.
14) Drive – Incubus (http://goo.gl/2aFY3e) about taking the wheel and drive yourself.
15) My Last Serenade – Killswitch Engage (http://goo.gl/BWk4av) about taking responsibility.

On sisu (persevering in the face of substantial adversity):
David Guetta: Titatnium ft. Sia ( Gee, I wish I had made this piece : ) )
“…all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down, but I get up
You shoot me down but I won’t fall
I am titanium” Hell. Yes.

Love that song. Actually, in my head, I turn it into a speed metal version – but the chorus is fantastic…
