Overthinking: How to Break Free from Overthinking and Find Peace Interior

Overthinking＂ by Chriss Winder is a book that addresses the problem of overthinking, a mental habit that can lead to a cycle of anxiety and stress. This practical, in-depth guide offers an empathetic understanding of the difficulties people face when they find themselves trapped in this cycle.

The book is organized into several sections that address various aspects of overthinking. Chapter 1 explores the origins of mental disorder and suffering, investigating whether the cause is internal or external to the individual. Chapter 2 introduces the ＂Anti-Stress Formula,＂ which provides various strategies for coping with stress, such as keeping diaries and using the 5-4-3-2-1 ＂Grounding＂ technique.

Chapter 3 focuses on time and stimulus management, discussing techniques such as the Eisenhower method and the importance of goal setting. Chapter 5 outlines thinking patterns, helping readers to dissolve cognitive distortions through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and self-scripting.

In Chapter 6, Winder presents new attitudes and techniques for emotion regulation, emphasizing the importance of focusing on what you can control and do, the present and what you need, rather than what you want.

＂Overthinking＂ helps readers break the cycle of overthinking by offering concrete ways to avoid ruminating and obsessing over negative thoughts. Chriss Winder encourages readers to identify and recognize their inner anxieties, maintain focus on relaxation and action, and overcome bouts of stress. The ultimate goal is to clear the mind of unnecessary thoughts and find greater focus.
