Susan Nolen-Hoeksma’s Women Who Think Too Much—How To Break Free of Overthinking and Reclaim Your Life is like a magic wand; her suggestions are often that easy. Divided into three sections, the book covers the what’s, the why’s, the how’s, and the when’s. Part I introduces overthinking and explains how it has become a cultural phenomenon, affecting women in particular. In Part II, Nolen-Hoeksma gives quick fixes to stop overthinking in the moment; my two favorites are saying “stop” to yourself when you recognize you are overthinking and scheduling a thinking time. I often find that by the time I get to my thinking hour, the issue doesn’t seem so important or so emotionally laden. Part II also gives active and proactive steps to combat overthinking in the future. However, if you are anything like me, you will find yourself morbidly fascinated by Part III.
