This book was weeks of therapy in a beautiful package. The information was so informative and balanced. I appreciated the suggestions on how to retrain your brain and to also to identify “thought viruses” I first read this courtesy of NetGalley but I’d definitely purchase a hard copy of this book to refer back to and to make use of the supplemental material like the flash cards and tables. Very good read and so practical for today! The illustrations in the book were also a very nice touch and quite humorous. I highly recommend.

I found this book easy to read and understand. It helps you to understand what overthinking is and when it is a problem. Lots of useful tips to help you manage over thinking and worrying.

There are some useful flashcards and worksheets at the back of the book.

I really liked this book. I found several great tidbits that I plan to implent in my everyday thinking process. It explains the thought process of worrisome over thinkers, thought viruses, how thoughts effect behavior, and processes to change the negative ways of thinking. Already looking at purchasing the paperback :)

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this read now title.

#NetGalley #TheBookOfOverthinking

I loved the book's title as I have noticed overthinking often seems to plague the students I teach (college). I would recommend this book to students who struggle with this, and enjoyed reading it myself. Highly recommended for those who struggle with anxiety or overthinking. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book felt almost like a mini therapy session. As someone who ruminates over everything and always goes to the "worst case scenario", this put things into perspective and made me understand my own brain a little bit more. I also liked that Smith inserts humor which is much needed for this type of book.

I enjoyed this book. I am a chronic worrier and I can be a catastrophizer. The book gives clear explanations for overthinking and concise tools for trying to manage it. The wording is plain, simple, and conversational. Interestingly, the chapters are written in such a way that each one represents a single therapy visit, with the reader as client and Gwendoline Smith as therapist. The book makes good use of analogies and examples. The illustrations are informative and cute. The only thing in the book I didn’t like was that sometimes Smith was self-promotional with reference to her previous books. Overall this book is well worth reading, with lots of tips. Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the digital review copy..

I’ve always been an overthinker and I found this book useful. I will keep referring back to it, whenever I need to as it is a great toolkit.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

This book is amazing and so incredibly helpful! I highly recommend to all the other ruminators and worriers out there! The author writes in a way that is easy to understand and the book is interesting and not a bore. It’s helpful, insightful and can make a big impact on your life like it did mine. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this life changing book!

A good introduction to cognitive-based therapy and how to use it to combat anxiety. The information is portrayed in a very easy-to-understand way for the layperson, and I enjoyed it for its simplicity and quick read. The flashcards were very handy as well, and they would serve as good reminders for anyone to have on hand for easy reference and so forth.
