This book was not particularly insightful. It's filled with personal anecdotes on instances where author has overthought various scenarios and how she learned to overcome these, however these scenarios are incredibly limiting. This book is made for white women of a certain socio-economic status, and I don't meet this criteria at all. The author's examples epitomize how First World Problems overthinking can be, or at least how she defines them. The best example of this is the the anecdote she shares about her friend Ally who planned a trip to Thailand and how Bogel then uses her experience to decide whether she wants to plan her own trip to Scotland. Some of us overthink things, because we are financially strapped and we have to prioritize wants from needs.
Lastly, the exercises were hokey and I could have done without the first section of the book. I don't really need to have overthinking over explained to me. If I'm seeking this book out I feel like I'm aware of what this issue is. Worst of all this book is just boring and filled with advice that is neither new nor life-changing.

This is an easy, relatable, and essential read for anyone who wastes time on second guessing themselves. The tips in Anne's book are easy to consider, clear to implement, and powerful when you start to see them work
Oh Anne, you wise, wise woman. Thank you for writing this gem. So many tangible and easy to apply strategies for overcoming overthinking. I’ve underlined SO many passages and words of wisdom. Will definitely re-read this when I find myself falling back to old habits that prevent me from having a more peaceful life. I highly recommend this book!

3.75. Nothing surprising, but a few reminders and things I needed to hear. (Audiobook, Anne Bogel, fine.)
Feeling stuck in your head? Don’t Overthink It is a thoughtful, practical read that helps you simplify decisions and let go of mental overload. It’s like a gentle nudge toward more peace and clarity.
As a life long “over thinker”, this book was so helpful! There are so many wonderful tips in this book for people who overthink the small decisions of life and suffer from decision fatigue. Anne has a gift of blending narrative stories with research and advice. I know this is a book I will return to this book again and again.
Easy and enjoyable read for anyone prone to overthinking or living in their head. This book is definitely tailored to women but provides some helpful tips on how to establish healthier thinking habits that anyone can benefit from. Men out there - don’t feel discouraged!
