“We don’t want to fritter away our one precious life second-guessing ourselves about a conversation we had last Thursday or whether we’re sick enough to go to the doctor or when we’re going to squeeze in a Costco run this week.”

Clutter. We perpetually drop off bags at the thrift store because we don’t want to waste our lives organizing, cleaning, and tidying things in our homes that don’t spark joy.

But what about the uncertainty, worry and rumination renting valuable real estate in our minds?. Anne Bogel’s newest book, Don’t Overthink It, ties together hot topics like mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, habits, rituals, values, abundance, and growth mindset in an easy-to-read, conversational style that I flew through in a day.

Some books on these topics are more academic, and I tend to move on to the next thing without using those fascinating facts in my daily life. While Anne’s writing is backed up by research, she also offers lots of ways she (or followers and friends) use these ideas in real life. The reflection questions at the end of each chapter are perfect journal prompts to return to and ponder how to fit these strategies into my own life.

Don’t Overthink It goes on sale March 3, but preorder bonuses are available at www.overthinkbook.com if you order early. (Thanks @ModernMrsDarcy for the digital ARC.)
