The Book of Overthinking: How to Stop the Cycle of Worry

The word overthinking is often used these days instead of ’worrying’. It’s also known as ruminating and it’s a form of anxiety - statistics show that about one in five people suffer from it. Psychologist Gwendoline Smith uses her broad scientific knowledge and experience to explain in clear and simple language the concepts of positive and negative overthinking, the myths of worry and the What If Cycle. She helps you understand what’s going on in your head, using lots of examples and anecdotes, and she offers powerful strategies to help you overcome these issues. Based on Cognitive Behavioural Theory, this book will help you in all the key areas of relationships, work and money.
