This book would probably be a good read for someone who is experiencing high stress, anxiety, and overthinking for the first time. It does still have some great tips and advice to those who don't know where to even begin handling this overwhelming feeling. For me, however, I've read one too many articles, and watched too many videos, and tried so many techniques already. So I'm quite aware of what work what don't for me.
About halfway through, I was hoping to read something life-changing. Something I was never aware of. Something I needed to hear. But I hardly found any of it. Instead, most of what has been written are things someone in the overthinking business is probably already aware of.
I was looking for new tips or tricks, or even just a fresh perspective on my situation. I didn't find much.
