“Groundbreaking research . . . Women Who Think Too Much tells why overthinking occurs, why it hurts people, and stop.” ―USA Today
It’s no surprise that our fast-paced, overly self-analytical culture is pushing many of us―especially women―to spend countless hours thinking about negative ideas, feelings, and experiences. Renowned psychologist Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this overthinking, and her groundbreaking research shows that increasingly more women―more than half of those in her extensive study―are doing it too much and too regularly, leading to sadness, anxiety, and depression. She challenges the assumption―heralded by such a lot of pop-psychology pundits of the last several decades―that continuously expressing and analyzing our emotions is a great thing.
In Women Who Think Too Much, Nolen-Hoeksema shows us what causes such a lot of women to be overthinkers and provides concrete strategies that can be utilized to escape these negative thoughts, move to higher ground, and live more productively. Women Who Think Too Much will change lives, and is destined to transform a self-assist classic.
