I found this to be more of a storytelling of women who overthink and “overcome” it rather than providing useful strategies to help the overthinking reader overcome it.

Clear and well-written, especially with regard to the recommendations respect the actions to be taken at times when the over thinking becomes obsessive. For use both in therapy or as a self-help manual, although I do not think that outside of a therapeutic relationship it may be sufficient.

Chiaro e ben scritto, specialmente per quanto riguarda i consigli rispetto alle azioni da da intraprendere nei momenti in cui il ruminamento si fa ossessivo. Da usare sia in terapia, sia come manuale di auto-aiuto, anche se non credo che all'esterno di una relazione terapeutica possa essere sufficiente.

5/5

so this book has rly helped me recently. the first part pretty much explained what overthinking is and it made me realize i wasnt alone. my whole life i thought my anxiety and overthinking were so insane and ridiculous. ive been struggling in certain aspects of my life, especially in the last few years, and a few months ago i decided enough was enough and started my journey to CHILL TF OUT lol. im not gonna get into that but i feel like this book was essential in coping and reframing my negative thoughts. its even been a safe place for when im overthinking so as soon as those thoughts would appear, id go back to this book. something abt reading what i was experiencing and having it validate yet correct my perceptions was rly comforting.

i didnt read the full book bc my overthinking is only for specific areas of my life so the entire thing didnt apply to me, but i read pretty much all of part 1 and 2. part 3 had chapters dedicated to different triggers (which i very much appreciated) so i only read what was relevant.

im sorry for the rant but if you deal w anxiety and mostly overthinking, i strongly recommend it. its rly opened my eyes and ill be writing down my highlighted quotes into my journal for easy access. sometimes you just need to be reminded of your cognitive distortions lol

This book still holds true 21 years after publication. It was really easy to listen to and I was really engaged. The stories were very helpful with understanding the concepts and seeing how to stop the overthinking process.
