Quiet the Spiral is the ultimate brain-detangler—funny, freeing, and packed with hacks that actually shut down those 2 a.m. thought tornadoes.

Quiet the Spiral is a gentle, practical guide that speaks directly to anyone caught in the exhausting loop of overthinking and anxiety. Smith doesn’t just explain why spirals happen—she offers relatable stories, calming techniques, and step-by-step practices that actually feel doable in daily life. I really appreciated how the book mixed science, compassion, and simple exercises like “naming the spiral” or trying short grounding resets. What made it especially enjoyable for me is that it felt like sitting with a counselor who gets how overwhelming life can be, and who hands you tools you can reach for the very same day.

Ever feel like your brain is a hamster on espresso—running in circles and getting nowhere? That’s exactly the mess Quiet the Spiral swoops in to clean up, and let me tell you, it’s a total sanity saver. I loved how the book gave me quick, no-nonsense tricks to stop the endless “what-ifs” and finally chill out. It’s not heavy, it’s not preachy—it’s like your witty, wise friend saying “Hey, breathe, you’ve got this.” If your thoughts keep throwing all-night raves in your head, this is the book to crash the party and kick them out. 🌀✨
