Summary of Susan Nolen-Hoeksema's Women Who Think Too Much
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Women are more likely than men to fall into overthinking and remain stuck there. Take, for example, Veronica, a 27-year-old full-time mom with auburn hair and dancing brown eyes. She adored caring for her twin toddlers, but she found herself slipping into the muck of negativity and concern called overthinking: What's wrong with me.
#2 Women are twice as likely as men to become severely depressed or anxious, and our tendency to overthink appears to be one of the reasons why. We can rise above this epidemic of emotional oversensitivity and hypervolatility and learn to recognize and appropriately express the emotions we experience.
#3 Overthinking is like trying to escape from quicksand. The first step to overcoming it is to break the grip of your thoughts so that they don't continue to pull you down further, and eventually smother you.
#4 Jenny was able to deal with her conflict with Sean by using a number of strategies to break the grip of her angry thoughts. She broke free from her initial ramblings by giving them a rest. She used a healthy, active distraction to release her mind from her negative thoughts.
