Have you ever read a book and felt so understood and seen by the author? Add “Don’t Over Think It” to my list! This beautifully written work gives hope and practical tips for those who struggle with over active thoughts (I have already implemented some of Anne’s recommendations). Reading her words in this book remind me of the comfort and joy you find when gaining a newfound friend... The first time you connect and say “No way?! You too? I thought I was the only one!” Do yourself a favor and add this to your TBR!!

Not terribly helpful, but the book had some cute anecdotes. Maybe I’ve just read way too many self-help books on productivity and organization to learn something new. It’s definitely worth the read.

The middle part I got the least out of, but I really did feel there was good advice when it came to believing you can change and knowing the signs of overthinking before it completely takes hold.

Am I an overthinker? No. Although, as a younger woman I sometimes followed that path. I remember one moment of overwhelm clearly. I had reached some kind of brain max out at work. A dear friend and coworker took me out to get an ice cream because my mind was obviously spinning. We got to the ice cream shop. The innocent person working at the counter began to ask the questions she needed to know so she could take care of me. What flavor? A cup or a cone? Do you want a cover? The final question made me burst out in tears. How I would have loved to put the skills Anne Bogel gently walks us through in her new book Don’t Overthink It into my mind at that moment.
Life has taught me much of what Anne says so well. Her wisdom sits close to my own heart and her words are exactly what I want to share with the people I love when I see them getting stuck. I will be pressing this book into the hands of my daughters and my friends!

This is one of those books I will want to re-read in case the information slips my mind. The book and examples resonated a lot with me and it feels like me reading this book was just perfect timing. The advice is easy to implement and I feel like it's actually working. Very happy.

I love Anne and her podcast, but this book subject matter just wasn’t for me.
