There were a few good ideas in here, but in my opinion nothing particularly groundbreaking unless you truly haven't paid attention to any self-help beforehand. It ultimately felt like it boiled down to three or four major ideas that got repeated fairly frequently.
One particular passage casually mentioned that a contact of his rediscovered her interest in genealogy which led her to find she's a descendent of George Washington. It was mentioned as an aside about how someone was doing so much better with their mental health, etc, but... George Washington didn't have kids. I had to go back to listen to that passage again, and it really stuck with me as a worrisome example that the author may not have been fact-checking very basic concepts.
Once that got into my head I couldn't fully trust the author's anecdotes again, which I suppose is emblematic of how little the book ultimately taught me about dealing with the voice in my head.

4.5, but rounding up.
A really interesting and effective book about the science of chatter and your inner voice. My favorite part was the lessons and tools the book provides, and the scientific reinforcement of the things I already do to interrupt chatter and rumination
