Product Description

Product Description

In the last few decades many psychologists have encouraged the view that constantly analysing and expressing our emotions is a good thing. Dr Susan Nolen-Hoeksema challenges this assumption in her breakthrough new book on conquering negative thinking. Encouraged by a fast-paced, self analytical culture, women often spend countless hours dwelling on negative ideas, feelings and experiences. Dr Nolen-Hoeksema calls this 'overthinking' and her groundbreaking research shows that an increasing number of women are doing this too much and too often, hindering their ability to effectively deal with problems and lead a satisfying life. Discover: * What 'overthinking' is and what causes it * Why women are particularly prone to negative thinking * Techniques for overcoming overthinking and finding real solutions to problems * Problem areas which cause us to think negatively - and what to do about them Clearly and engagingly written, and packed with case studies and examples, Women Who Think Too Much will change lives and is destined to become a self-help classic.

excellent 5 May 2004
Format:Paperback
This book is excellent. It has enabled me to change my life. I have spent many years obsessing over all kinds of things - and I did not even realise I was doing it, it was so natural to me. The author shows how we get into these patterns of thinking where the same old stuff goes round and round in our heads and she suggests ways of getting out of it. Now I realise when I am doing it and I use one of her suggestions to feel happier. I have bought several copies for friends who think like I do and I highly recommend it to every woman as we all do it.

I found the chaper on overthinking work particularly useful and would highly recommend this book. I'd like to pass it on to a few friends but haven't figured out a subtle way to do so...

Format:Paperback
I have always thought of myself as a worrier and overthinker. If there is nothing to worry about I worry about this too! I purchased the book about a month ago and it has made a big difference to my life. I have begun to take each day as it comes and if a problem arises I think about it but do not overthink and make the problem ten times bigger by overthinking. The book is full of real peoples personal experiences which is very interesting. From reading the book you can see how easy it is to have a problem and blow it all out of proportion with various thoughts that and fears that really are ridiculous and unrealistic. No person will ever live problem free without worry but this book puts everything into perspective and allows you to think before you overthink! I would highly recommend it.
