Synopsis

In Detox Your Thoughts, popular psychologist Andrea Bonior, PhD, identifies the 12 most prevalent thought patterns that make people feel anxious, insecure, and generally just bad.

To overcome the most common mental traps, you must completely change the way you relate to your thoughts.

If breaking free of negative thought patterns could be cured through simply thinking positively or doubling down on our self-care, we wouldn't see such epidemic rates of depression and anxiety disorders worldwide. Bonior deciphers the psychological research to help us disempower our self-sabotaging thoughts, and teaches specific and actionable ways to overcome them in a transformational read.

• Dr. Andrea Bonior is a popular psychologist and contributor to BuzzFeed and the Washington Post.
• Inspired by her popular BuzzFeed challenge Detox Your Thoughts Bonior identifies 12 mental traps that keep us locked in negative thinking.
• The book explores a surprising path to break free of these harmful thoughts.

With bite-sized pop psychology takes on the thought patterns that plague most people and a practical approach to quitting negative self-talk for good, Detox Your Thoughts is a transformational read.

Dr. Bonior's mental health advice column, "Baggage Check," has appeared for 14 years in the Washington Post and several other newspapers nationwide.

• Perfect for readers of the Washington Post's "Baggage Check" column, Goodful's Detox Your Thoughts, Psychology Today, and The Cut's "Science of Us"
• Also a good fit for those who love pop psychology, self-help books, and any books related to motivation or happiness.
• Fans of Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World by Max Lucado, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do by Amy Morin, and Dare: The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks by Barry McDonagh will want this in their collection.

Goodreads review by Jaci on May 28, 2020

I wish this book did not have a last page. It was that HELPFUL. And very up-to-date, too. It's for us people who grew up in a world of social media.

Goodreads review by Kathryn on June 16, 2020

This book was excellent! It wasn't a ton of new information - a lot of the usual CBT and mindfulness stuff, but there was something about the delivery that really resonated with me.

Goodreads review by Terrie on July 19, 2020

When I first began this book, I thought the concepts were silly. I seriously doubted telling myself what I believed wasn’t true would change my thinking. The, I applied it. Instead of telling myself that “I have no friends”, I changed the thought to “I believe that I have no friends.” Later, it becam......more

Goodreads review by Michelle on July 04, 2022

I cannot recommend this book enough! It deserves 10 stars in my opinion. Dr. Bonior writes in a way that anyone of any age can relate to and she makes you want to try each step to heal yourself. I was able to relate to the story of the woman whose friend died and she blamed herself… because I did th......more

This is a self-help book. I'm usually skeptical but this one had a lot good info. The book is short, a little over 200 pages with short chapters structured in a simple-to-digest manner. Lot's of summaries and bullet points, which I liked. There are four parts Part I: Your Mind, Part II: Your Moment,......more
