Synopsis

'Groundbreaking research . . . Women Who Think Too Much tells why overthinking occurs, why it hurts people, and how to stop' USA Today

Are you an overthinker?

It's no surprise that our fast-paced, overly self-analytical culture is pushing many people - especially women - to spend countless hours thinking about negative ideas, feelings, and experiences. Renowned psychologist and award-winning researcher Dr Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this overthinking, and her groundbreaking research shows you how to break free of it and reclaim your life.

In this self-help classic, Nolen-Hoeksema explains why so many women overthink, and offers practical, breakthrough strategies that can be used to escape these negative thoughts, gain confidence and control, and live more productively.

I picked this mostly as a procrastination short nonfiction read and didn't expect to find it this interesting.
