The Book of Overthinking. How to Stop the Cycle of Worry
By Gwendoline Smith
‘Overthinking’ is the name given to the repetitive, anxiety-provoking thoughts that can keep you awake at night, or the nagging negativity that can spoil an otherwise good experience. It’s not really the quantity of thinking that gets out of hand, but its quality. Too often we fall into common thinking traps, so familiar that we assume them to be obvious and true.
In this conversational-style book, sprinkled with cartoon illustrations, Gwendoline Smith calls worry ‘a superstitious behaviour that then becomes a habit.’ She clarifies how to spot when our thinking is taking us down the worry spiral, how to stop it and what to do instead. Practical and down-to-earth, this book is ideal for the habitual worrier.
