Overthink: A Simple Guide to Calm Your Thoughts by Lyndsey Getty is an informative and helpful self-help book that guides the reader in overcoming overthinking. The book provides new ideas concerning the control of mental noise and gives a simple, three-step method by which readers can take back control of their thoughts. The author also shares personal anecdotes and practical exercises to help readers apply the techniques in their own lives. Several sections are packed with examples that readers could easily relate to, while Getty’s prompts for each major category of psychological approach are immediately practical. With the power of positive thinking coupled with personal experiences and research, Getty shows readers how to recognize negative thinking, refocus on growth-orientated thinking, and embrace constructive thinking.
The author presents factual information in her text and writes about the issue with understandable explanations and empathy. Her battles with C-PTSD, depression, and anxiety give particular credibility and weight to her guidance. This unique format that combines writing prompts and detailed worksheets helps readers follow their progress and apply the techniques described in the reading process. By combining personal storytelling with straightforward instructions, the author helps the audience grasp the concept of the productiveness of thought and implement it successfully in their practice. The broadly supported strategies and Lyndsey Getty’s positive and reassuring attitude make Overthink: A Simple Guide to Calm Your Thoughts helpful for anyone who wants to change their thinking patterns and learn how to have a calm, untroubled mind.
