The counter to an overthinking state is a mindful state. Free of past or future worries. Present. Feeling the wold around you as it really is, now. Without fear. With clarity.
Although I usually appreciate the addition of supplementary material to just about any book, I felt that there were a bit too many kitschy illustrations included here for my tastes...

This is a spiritual guidebook that explores the nature of consciousness and the ways in which we can free ourselves from negative thought patterns and find inner peace. In the book, Singer argues that overthinking is often a result of being identified with the ego, or the mind’s sense of self and that by learning to detach from the ego, we can find greater inner peace and freedom. While your trigger thoughts are completely automatic, you can learn to control whether or not you engage in a trigger thought. You can choose whether to ‘answer’ the thought and follow it up with more related thoughts – or just let it be. Thoughts are ephemeral and they will pass if you don’t expend energy on them.
The book comes with a comprehensive list of dos and don’ts for eating, a scientific quiz showing you how healthy your brain is, and lots of specific recipes to eliminate brain fog. (Dr. Mosconi is from Italy, so you can rest assured, they’ll be delicious.)Many chronic overthinkers struggle to change their belief that their thoughts can be brought under control, and perhaps you’re still not convinced. One way of challenging your belief further is to explore whether you’re able to postpone worries and ruminations. I recommend that my clients introduce a so-called ‘worry/rumination time’. It has to be a set time of the day, for instance 7.30pm to 8pm, where you allow yourself to worry and ruminate freely. That way, when trigger thoughts or feelings occur during the day – for instance, you feel the need to evaluate your health or reflect upon what your friends think of you – try postponing these thoughts to your scheduled worry/rumination time (you might tell yourself: ‘I’ll deal with this later’). This set time is also useful for any planning or reassurance-seeking for which you feel the need. One note of caution: you might want to avoid scheduling your worry time within one or two hours of when you plan to go to bed, especially if you’re prone to insomnia or other sleep difficulties. Reviewing self-help books can be difficult sometimes because every individual is on his/her own journey for each topic. Whereas one person may have read numerous volume on anxiety/stress, for example, another might be starting the search for help here.
Overthinking can make it hard to sleep. Some strategies that may help you get a good night's sleep include: Watkins E, et al. (2020). Reflecting on rumination: Consequences, causes, mechanisms and treatment of rumination. This book explores spiritual concepts and if you are looking for something more scientific, this book is great but may not be the one for you. The Art of Living by EpictetusIt's more like a friend, philosopher and guide than a book. Felt like the author herself is talking to you, taking you through the journey that, you and she, both are parts of. Michl LC, McLaughlin KA, Shepherd K, Nolen-Hoeksema S. Rumination as a mechanism linking stressful life events to symptoms of depression and anxiety: longitudinal evidence in early adolescents and adults. J Abnorm Psychol. 2013;122(2):339-52. doi:10.1037/a0031994 Some people struggle to develop this skill. In that case, in metacognitive therapy we use attention training to help clients realise that they can shift their attention regardless of inner inputs, such as trigger thoughts, and outer input, such as external stressors. I usually ask my clients to do the following 10-minute exercise. Maybe reading this will inspire you to try it out yourself: But, he adopted a new philosophy when he went to visit India, a country he describes as overcrowded and wildly unpredictable…Which turned out to be great because people simply live in the moment there, and don’t have that much time to worry and overthink. While the other person is explaining how they see things, you are in your head, thinking about your response. And that is not where the solution, or the best way forward, will be found. Those will present themselves in the moment, in the actual conversation, in the interaction with the other person. Puiman: ‘By not being present, you really prevent yourself from finding those unexpected, unforeseen solutions that come up when you really hear the other person’s perspective’.
To put it bluntly, we can't alter the future. Whatever happens, happens. But, we can trust in ourselves, and in the people we love, to always come through and choose kindness above all else. Oh, and honesty; that's important, too. And if the outcome isn't as we had hoped, then we can trust that we can make it out just fine. Because we've already come this far. We can learn from it, heal as we need to, and move on. We're always going to come across obstacles, but that's just what makes us tougher. A problem features goals and barriers. We have goals we want to reach, and then there are these hills or mountains, called barriers, that stand in our way to reach these goals. Problem solving is about overcoming these barriers so that we can reach our final destination: Our goals.” Unlike most such books that talk about the scientific side of overthinking, the whole concept of “Embrace The Chaos” is to explore the matter in a relatable manner – through Miglani’s many adventures in India. Then you will ask them "how did that happen? How have you not aged at all? How are you so peaceful?"This book provides practical strategies and techniques to help readers overcome overthinking. The book aims to help readers find a balance between their emotional and rational minds. By doing so, people can make better decisions and lead a more fulfilling life. Some great things that the book covers are:
