Brilliant! I learnt a lot about how to tackle overthinking. Highly recommended. I’ll be listening again to absorb the content. I enjoyed the narration. Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to review this audiobook.

I continue to struggle with the Netgalley app when listening to audiobooks. I can’t stand to listen to them at 1x speed (way too slow), but when trying to speed them up, the delivery is choppy. It feels like a dj randomly shuffling the record forward, then slow. It’s frustrating.

So that combined with the writing made this a DNF for me. I understand the physical copy is more like a comic book? That doesn’t translate well. It seemed too high-school level of writing.

Thank you NetGalley and Gwendoline Smith for the advanced copy!

This audiobook was insightful and very informative. As someone who struggles with anxiety, this spoke to me on so many levels. Especially the "fight or flight" portion of it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for granting me early access to this audiobook!
Gwendolyn’s Smith takes you on a discovery of worrisome overthinking, cognitive behavioral therapy, and leaves you with tools and strategies to put into practice when you experience the worrisome overthinking spiral and thought viruses.
As someone with generalized anxiety disorder, this book was not only enlightening on why I think how I think, but it also helped me realize things I can do every day to rationalize and actualize my thinking, and consequently, my behavioral and biological response.
I definitely would recommend this book to not just people with anxiety, but to anyone wishing to change their thinking for the better.

Love the book and the narration. You do lose some of the effect without the humorous illustrations throughout the book but the narration was great. Found several great tidbits in this book, this is my second time through and I even picked up a few more ideas/ processes.
