Stop Overthinking

“Stop Overthinking” ist ein absolut empfehlenswertes Buch für alle, die unter endlosen Gedankenschleifen leiden und nach Wegen suchen, den mentalen Ballast loszuwerden. Der Autor bietet leicht verständliche und umsetzbare Strategien, um das ständige Grübeln in den Griff zu bekommen. Besonders hilfreich finde ich die praktischen Übungen, die nicht nur theoretisch bleiben, sondern sofort im Alltag angewendet werden können.

I was in a bad phase of my life few days back. My boyfriend bought this one for me and I completed it within 2 days. Believe me this is a life changing book. I got so much wisdom from this book . I recommend this book to everyone who’s battling with overthinking, stress, anxiety, STOP right there , don’t stress much buy this and give it a try.

I purchased this book through Kindle which I find is much easier to read as I often flip back a page or 2 to re-read. I’m a classic on what the cover applies. It’s why I purchased it. Obsessive thoughts & worrying have been with me for as long as I can remember. I feel genetics is a factor for some, others are life experiences & just who I became as an adult. After going through cancer these issues became worse even though I recovered. I didn’t recover emotionally. I had my Son & the worrier as a Mother kicked in. Before I knew it the stress management I had in place caved & anxiety was a a daily fight. I still fight it. I’m more equipped now in coping with it in working with a Psycholgist & specifically focusing on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). This practice has changed a lot for me in a positive way. I’m always a sucker for books on these topics & always looking for guidance from a different perspective. I’m glad I purchased this book. The 1st chapter I scanned as it’s a lot of explaining of what these mental health conditions are. Chapter 2 gets into the thick of things where I particularly liked “The 4 A’s of Stress Management.” As he states “all you need to remember is four techniques: avoid, alter, accept and adapt. I found this to be very useful to me. It writes a hard to approach topic(s) & breaks them down so it’s so easy to understand. This writing continued throughout the entire book. He breaks it down with an easy way to understand & begin an approach to apply it to your life. I’ve learned meditation is an awesome way to provide TLC to myself on a daily basis & it improves my overall mental health at the sane time as well as so many other amazing benefits. His “The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique” is similar to the way meditation gets started & it can be applied when your not meditating. He does an awesome job describing how to use this technique. Learning how to manage my time has helped me with procrastination. He cites theories but again makes it easy to read. The chapter on Setting SMART Goals truly teaches one-of course putting what you read into action- not to set goals which will lead to failure. Each letter is SMART serves a purpose I’ll remember. I liked “How to find instant zen” the best. Don’t we all wish for that. Again how he presents in actually achieving it made me feel, I can do this~ really! Again meditation is brought into play here as he focuses on the breath process of inhaling & exhaling which we all do. What’s important is paying attention to it more often. I could continue on & on with the rest of his book but the rest doesn’t disappoint. I ended the book feeling more confident in being able to manage my obsessing thinking, my stresses & my anxiety in check. I read portions of the book to my Psychologist in one of my sessions & she applauded his writings. The book was very much worth what I paid. If you are an over thinker I feel you would benefit from this book. I do recommend it!

This book is very basic and simplistic. I was not a fan of the writing style and how the book is set up in general. If you’re looking for a book to help with managing stress, anxiety and overthinking, there are so many better options out there. I wish I’d started reading it within the return window, I’d have sent it back after the first 10-15 pages. I stuck with it but wasn’t impressed.

This was a really great read, it helped me shift my perspective on some of my ways of thinking and helped me be more present.

I really like the way the author gave examples of scenarios and reading this book helped me understand how to handle myself mentally with other people and situations that have caused me stress in the past.

Good techniques for staying in the moment, letting go of the past and shaping how you want to be moving forward.

I ordered this book for my manage stress class in college, and truly fell in love with the writing style! The book allowed for me to learn a lot more about myself and the strategies I can use in the future to help with my stress!
