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.

About the Author
Dr Susan Nolen-Hoeksema is an expert in the study of women and emotion. She is the author of five professional books and numerous articles, and is a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. Her award-winning research has been funded by major grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Science Foundation, and several private foundations. She received her BA from Yale University and her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, 5 May 2004
By Charles Anderson (mddx United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful advice for people who worry too much, 27 Jan 2005
By A Customer
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...

4.0 out of 5 stars enlightening, 17 Jan 2006
By A Customer
This book should be read by everyone who thinks they are a "worrier". There are excellent techniques for stopping this destructive and time wasting habit.
The title is exact and true. Although it could be useful to men I think it is completely written for women and is overtly descriptive and romantic in its narrative.
