– Stop Overthinking: 23 Techniques to Relieve Stress, Stop Negative Spirals, Declutter Your Mind, and Focus on the Present (The Path to Calm)

I’ve been thinking (overthinking, spiraling, rethinking, and then overthinking my rethinking) about buying this book for what feels like several centuries. You know how it is—everyone’s out here trying to be “more mindful” while I’m just trying not to mentally re-play that awkward thing I said in 2009. This book is basically a toolkit for escaping the overthinking hamster wheel—like a mental Swiss Army knife, but without the risk of accidentally stabbing yourself. It’s crammed with different theories and strategies that actually make sense. And the best part? It’s written in plain English, so you don’t need a PhD in Philosophy or a translator for “self-help jargon.” Very readable, very relatable, and very much worth the brain space.

Bought for a friend who says its good to read 📚

Very good book really helped me if anybody is overthinking that’s about to get very informative and very good for me anyway

Useful tips. Good read

Great read highly recommend.

Excellent book with lots of exploration of common mental health challenges and damaging thought processes. Good examples on how to be more positive and live in the present moment and not worry about the past.same

Ok I need to come back and edit my review. Initially I was VERY put off by the fact that this was a self published book with extremely bad formatting. It is BOTH those things! AND it's also AI Driven. I can tell due to the grammar, AI has a very specific dead giveaway!! That all said, it's offered some very good possibilities for me to consider, given the *reason* WHY I bought the book in the first place. Nick! (Author) if you see this, I apologise!! I do, but you really should proofread your work!! OR get a professional to do it for you. Someone like me who KNOWS when someone's used AI to do things for them!! It's very blatant to me. ALSO you need much better formatting (Justification and then underlining titles? uhg!! Absolute formatting amateur!!) BUT... after all of 'that'. I am very appreciative of the good/new thoughts I can work on. If you're not formatting snob... and can get past, and keep reading, I think it's *very* worth it. Originally I gave this 2 stars, but have come back to edit, to update more on my findings. I stuck with it, it's been very good, I need to get over the formatting snobbery! lol I DO recommend, but you also need to see past the AI'ness of it as well. (I mean come on Nick, did you sit there and tell the AI helper - reference this and that at least ten times before proceeding to the point?? this happens quite frequently, but it IS relevant? it DOES do my head in a bit...)

Great book
