I received a registered post this afternoon and on opening the parcel I found this book — “The Art of Not Overthinking” by Shaurya Kapoor. This is a self-published book leveraging the Notion Press platform. I hadn’t ordered this book myself, so I was wondering who could’ve sent it to me and that too via a registered post. When I messaged Gautam (a dear friend) about this surprise parcel, he said it was him who had sent it to me.

Despite the pristine white and minimalist cover design, my first impressions about this book weren’t positive, more so because each page has only 2-15 lines written on it and the remainder of the page is left blank. Nevertheless, honouring the sentiments of my friend who sent this book to me, I decided to give this book a patient reading.

I finished reading the 78 pages in less than an hour. The book has left me awestruck. I feel guilty of (wrongly) judging it beforehand. While reading this book(let) I was reminded of the book — “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” by Dale Carnegie. It felt as if I were reading handwritten notes from that book. Every single page of this book resonates with the happenings from your own life. At times, it stirs up your (painful) past, yet it doesn’t fail to provide solace & hope for a brighter future. The narrative feels as if you are sitting with a close friend, who’s showing you the mirror without being judgmental. This friend points out your follies yet is accepting of who you are. By the end, you feel heard and surprisingly calm. You get a feeling that someone understands you, the way you want to be understood.

I agree that the whitespace in the book could’ve been used better, and the short yet pithy messages on each page could’ve been elaborated a bit more. Nevertheless, this tiny book is the pep talk you’ll need when you’re feeling down and want someone to cheer you up! I am certain, I’ll be reading this book several times.

Last but not least, I am indebted to my friend who sent me this book as a New Year present. A short yet inspiring book to begin the New Year.

I find this book very insightful because it taught me things which are pretty rational and simple but i usually didn't think about that in such way. I think this book is good.

Shaurya Kapoor’s The Art of Not Overthinking emerges as a heartfelt and accessible guide specifically aimed at individuals who identify as over-thinkers, over-feelers, over-lovers, and those who over-invest in others. This self-published work speaks directly to those feeling lost, confused, or misunderstood, offering a path towards greater self-acceptance and inner peace. The book’s core message is one of empowering the reader to trust their potential and intentions, thereby diminishing the grip of negative self-talk and the fear of unfavourable outcomes.

Despite a minimalist presentation with significant whitespace, the book’s strength lies in its clear, concise, and impactful writing. Each page delivers pithy messages that resonate deeply, often stirring past experiences while simultaneouslyoffering solace and instilling hope for the future. Reading it feels akin to a non-judgmental conversation with a trusted friend who offers honest observations while affirming one’s worth.

Key takeaways include the crucial understanding that AI responses are not infallible, practical ways to leverage AI for overcoming creative blocks and refining writing (though this aspect seems less central to the provided testimonials than the self-help aspects), and valuable advice on simplifying life-developing a growth mindset, setting emotional boundaries, practising self-compassion, and finding purpose. Ultimately, this book is highly recommended as a constant companion for anyone seeking to nurture their mental health, offering inspiring and easy-to-digest wisdom that encourages repeated readings and serves as a potent pep talk during challenging times.

[Harsh Khandwal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wasn't a regular reader, and in fact, I never read until I came across this book. It gave me words and phrases that helped decrease my negative self-thoughts and overcome my fear of failure. In this imperfect world, things like perfection don't exist. It's normal to be imperfect, and that's okay. All you need to do is stay away from those who don't wish you well and surround yourself with people who support you through every phase of life, especially during difficult times like overthinking.
Breakups hurt the most – it's a sentence I never believed in until I experienced it. It shattered my heart. At the same time, you're unable to distinguish between loved ones and enemies; you think everyone in the universe is out to hurt you. But, my friend, that's not true – a lesson I learned from this book. 'You deserve better' means you genuinely do.

The Art of Not Overthinking is a gentle yet powerful companion for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by their own thoughts. It's a book for those who overthink, over-feel, and over-invest in others and often find themselves lost, confused, or misunderstood.
In a world that seldom shows us how to guard our emotional energy, this book stands out by gently offering healing truths amidst the chaos of constant mental chatter. With deep empathy, it extends a hand to those navigating the path of emotional healing and self-discovery.
Structured into four beautifully thoughtful sections — You Deserve Love, You Deserve Happiness, You Deserve Peace, You Deserve Healing, this book serves as a gentle guide to self. Each section is filled with brief, meditative reflections, making it ideal for daily reading or revisiting during moments of emotional distress. For readers who find dense self-help books intimidating or tiring, this one offers wisdom in small, digestible doses.
The author gets to the root of overthinking — fear, past trauma, and the need to control outcomes. The readers are encouraged to choose themselves, even in the absence of external validation.
I liked how the author guides us through the emotional extremes, offering gentle practices without judgment, pausing before reacting, and using affirmations rooted in self-acceptance. Through these small things, we can find peace. And in peace, we begin to heal.
The tone of the book is warm, comforting, kind, and honest. The words are like medicine for the soul. This is a book you’ll want to highlight, dog-ear, and gift to someone who needs hope and clarity.
The author’s heartfelt guidance, filled with practical notes and handpicked affirmations, makes this not just a book, but something to read and reflect. As you turn each page, you’ll find familiar truths or the things you already knew deep down, but couldn’t quite grasp when trapped in storms of relentless thought.
The book also explores the importance of mindfulness, offering techniques to help quiet the mind.
Whether you are at the beginning of your healing journey or looking for tools to deepen your emotional clarity, this book is a comforting, clarifying, and deeply affirming read. It’s a quiet reminder that you are not alone, and more importantly, that you deserve to live a life not ruled by fear, but by self-love, health and peace.

Notes:

Simplify life, overthinking thrives in chaos, too many commitments too much clutter or overloaded schedule

Declutter environment and streamline daily routines

A simpler life makes it easier to cultivate peace within

Develop a growth mindset, view failures as learning opportunities, focus on small progress not how far you have to go

I can’t do this to I can’t do this yet, instead of a fixed end point leave room for growth

Watch how you talk to yourself and what you’re telling yourself daily


Emotional detachment is learning to be okay with many outcomes and not putting so much weight

Emotional boundaries, not letting others affect yours especially whilst trying to be a support
Boundaries create space to care without losing yourself in the process

What would a friend say when you are beating yourself up over a mistake, offer yourself the same understanding
Imperfection is a part of being human not failure or that you aren’t good enough

Give acceptance to life and its uncertainties, find gratitude in each situation

Finding a sense of purpose helps with overthinking, it doesn’t have to be grand it just has to help ground you and give you something to strive for (identify mine as developing my personal growth currently) purposes are malleable and changeable as you change

Strengthening self belief to silence overthinking, have faith in one’s own capabilities and perseverance

Break goals into smaller steps you can tackle
Overthinking is from overwhelming goals with a lack of set direction that seem often unachievable or incredibly overwhelming itself

Take action to increase self belief. Overthinking thrives on inaction, creating a loop of doubt and hesitation

Taking even small steps imperfect steps forwards proves to yourself your capabilities and builds momentum

Show up for self each day
Enjoy and embrace the journey don’t focus on The outcome
Accept that life is a series of moments and not a race to a finish line
_______

*the date of finish is an estimate

This had a lot of valuable insight if a bit repetitive especially in the latter half/towards the end.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 is a compact yet powerful self help book that seeks to offer a quiet revolution against the loud chaos of mental noise. This book is actually preach those who are going through the path of healing journey.

✨ This book is divided into four sections which I appreciate the most. It is left with a detailed notion - 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠.

People who have shorter attention spans or those overwhelmed by dense self help books can try this book.

But a recurring motif is the idea of how to overcome those extremities - this brings peace and peace brings healing and perfection. While on the surface the book provides the main notion of your thinking, this book reflects some subtle actionable advice like journaling your emotions without any judgement, pausing before reacting and practicing affirmations rooted in self acceptance.

Why Do We Overthink Even When We Know We Shouldn’t?

Zakir Khan, the beloved stand-up comedian, once joked, “Agar overthinking ka medal hota, humare desh ki betiyaan saare medal le aati.” While it got a good laugh, it also made me pause and wonder—why do we overthink?

What is this constant need to dissect every thought, overanalyze every situation, and jump to the worst possible conclusion? Why do we spiral into endless “what-ifs” even when we know, deep down, that it does no good?

After years of overthinking and reading The Art of Not Overthinking by Shaurya Kapoor, I’ve come to realize something important—overthinkers aren’t obsessed with negativity; they are simply scared, sensitive, and deeply emotional. Their minds are wired to seek reassurance, yet they struggle to silence the inner chaos. Staying positive, thinking clearly, and maintaining emotional strength takes immense effort for them.

This book is a gentle yet powerful reminder to be kind to yourself. It reassures overthinkers that they deserve love, peace, happiness, and healing, rather than guilt for the way their mind works. Kapoor delves deep into the psychology of overthinking, beautifully illustrating the internal conflicts, self-doubt, and emotional vulnerability that overthinkers face daily. More importantly, the book provides a comforting sense of understanding, assurance, and practical ways to break free from the cycle of overanalysis.

The writing is simple yet profoundly impactful—like a warm hug for the mind. The words flow like a compassionate listener, someone who understands your struggles without judgment. It acknowledges the inner turmoil of overthinkers while gently guiding them toward self-acceptance and inner peace.

If you constantly find yourself overanalyzing situations, dwelling on the past, or fearing the future, this book is a must-read. It’s not just a guide to reducing overthinking—it’s a companion that validates your emotions, helps you regain clarity, and reminds you that it’s okay to take life easy.

[Gowtham Mothukuri · Rating 4 out of 5]

"The Art of Not Overthinking: Believing in Yourself and Building Your Dream Life" is a thoughtful and encouraging book that speaks directly to those who find themselves trapped in endless cycles of doubt, fear, and hesitation. It offers a refreshing perspective on breaking free from overanalysis and embracing a mindset that fosters self-belief and action.

The book’s central message is clear: overthinking can be a silent enemy that holds us back from making decisions, taking risks, and fully experiencing life. The author does a great job of explaining how our minds tend to overcomplicate things, leading to anxiety, procrastination, and missed opportunities. Through practical advice and relatable examples, the book guides readers toward developing a more confident and decisive approach to life.

One of the standout aspects of this book is its balance between motivation and practicality. It doesn’t just tell you to “stop overthinking” but provides clear strategies on how to do so. From shifting focus away from fear-based thoughts to building habits that encourage action, the book lays out a roadmap for anyone looking to break free from their own mental barriers.

Another strength of this book is its emphasis on self-belief. It reminds readers that success and happiness start from within, and the way we think about ourselves shapes our reality. The tone is warm and reassuring, making it feel like a conversation with a mentor who genuinely wants to see you succeed.

Overall, "The Art of Not Overthinking" is a great read for anyone who struggles with second-guessing themselves or feels stuck in their own thoughts. It’s an uplifting, easy-to-read guide that encourages readers to trust themselves, take action, and build the life they truly want.

[Hussnain Ali · Rating 1 out of 5]

I have to say, it was a disappointing experience.

The book has only one main idea, which is repeated over and over: **remove negative people from your life.** It honestly feels like this book was written for a friend who just went through a bad breakup, because the central theme is that *you deserve to be loved again,* and you need to move past your trauma and anxiety to find happiness.

While the intention to motivate is good, the advice here is extremely simplistic. Suggestions like *do the things you love—read books, travel, watch movies* fail to recognise that when you are truly in the grip of anxiety, none of these activities bring any comfort. Even your favourite hobby feels empty.

The entire book basically says: *If you’re overthinking, just stop overthinking.* That’s like telling someone who wants to walk: *Just walk.* Or someone who wants to study: *Just study.* There is no exploration of the psychological causes of overthinking, no practical methods to work through it, and no meaningful discussion of why it happens in the first place.

To me, this doesn’t qualify as a real self-improvement book. It reads like a superficial motivational pamphlet rather than something thoughtfully researched or genuinely helpful. In fact, the writing is so repetitive and shallow that it feels as if it was generated by an AI. The author stretches the content to 78 pages, but many pages have only one or two lines, and if all the text were combined properly, the book would barely fill 25–30 pages.

Overall, I don’t recommend this book. It’s not informative, it’s not practical, and it doesn’t respect the complexity of anxiety or overthinking.

My rating: 1 out of 5 stars.

-Defeat your Monkey Brain-
Review of 'The Art of Not Overthinking' by Shaurya Kapoor

Have you been through the boggy mess of overthinking? But what exactly is overthinking and what's the paralysis of analysis? Author Gupverthinking is the excessive and repetitive dwelling on thoughts, often leading to indecision and Inaction. The author writes: 'It complicates everything and simplifies nothing.'

The book is divided into four chapters: You deserve love, You deserve happiness, you deserve peace and you deserve healing. He goes on defining as well as describing the solutions to overcome the darkness in your life. It makes for a good reading material if you wish to go to the very depths of the problem that plagues you.
He writes- 'People can choose not to believe in your dreams. They can choose to push you down and hurt you, and that's not a problem. People are seldom okay with seeing other people grow. The problem begins when you start subscribing to their ideas and thoughts.'

Kapoor's book is armed with a number of tips and techniques to stop the excessive thoughts that invade one's head. He advocates mindfulness and advises readers to practice meditation. His book promises that if you believe in yourself, you can build your dream life.

My favourite lines from the book are- 'Things aren't as bad as they seem, and even if they are, remember that you're a good person, and beautiful things are always on their way to you, even if you can't see them coming yet.'

There are a number of methods here that you may read and give them a try.

The Art of Not Overthinking is one of those books that feels like a friend talking you down from a spiral—calm, caring, and understanding. It doesn’t promise to “fix” your mind overnight, but it does offer practical and relatable tools to help quiet the noise in your head.

As someone who tends to overanalyze almost everything—conversations, decisions, the future—this book came at the right time. It helped me become more aware of my thought patterns and showed me small but effective ways to break the cycle.

💡 What I liked:
Simple and relatable language: The writing is easy to follow and feels very personal. It’s not filled with jargon—just honest insights and examples that make sense.

Practical tools: From journaling and mental decluttering to setting mental boundaries, the book shares strategies that are easy to try and actually work.

Reassuring tone: You won’t feel judged for overthinking. The author writes with empathy, like they get it—because they’ve been there.

😐 What I didn’t love:
Repetitive at times: A few ideas are repeated in different ways, which made parts of the book feel a bit stretched.

Could go deeper: If you’re looking for scientific explanations or advanced cognitive strategies, this book stays more on the surface level.

🌱 Best Takeaway:
“You are not your thoughts. You are the observer of your thoughts.”

That simple truth hit me hard. It’s a reminder that thoughts come and go—we don’t have to follow every single one of them down a rabbit hole.

[Chhaya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Judging from the title and minimalist cover, I was expecting something like a long, detailed pep talk kind of non-fiction book. But I was surprised to see the interior content, as it was not so stuffed, making it breathable for me. Because, to be honest, I get scared of thick, stuffed nonfiction.


The words in the book directly spoke to me and all those others who identify themselves as overthinkers, overlovers, or overinvested in people or who overfeel. They are not just words or phrases; they are something that my soul needed to hear for a long time, and this book didn't just say those phrases but also made me believe in them (and that is the hardest part for me; I still have not fully accepted that, but I've seen a lot of progress in my thought process).

The book is written in a warm, comforting, and mild tone that helps readers to connect with it more. It's a short book of less than 100 pages, but those 78 pages teach you a lot, especially about having faith in yourself, choosing yourself, and self-acceptance.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to the one who feels lost, confused, and misunderstood, or if you'd like to read something short and deep read.

He emphasizes that everyone deserves love, happiness, peace, and the opportunity for healing, which resonates deeply with readers seeking solace.

I found this book a valuable resource for personal growth and emotional resilience.

The Art of Not Overthinking by Shaurya Kapoor feels like a warm hug for anyone who overthinks and over-loves or just feels lost sometimes. Four sections make up the book: You Deserve Love, Happiness, Peace, and Healing. The very essence of this book revolves around good things; no matter how messily life is going, you still deserve them. It gives a lot of little lessons that help build on trusting yourself and downplaying the overthinking.

Reading this felt like a first-the-heart-to-heart with a friend who gets it. I loved the simple but relatable words by Shaurya. He talks to you at eye level, never looking down at you or making you feel broken. Rather, he gently puts a finger on that strength. Some lines really hit home for me, especially when asserting that you should not subscribe to anyone else's negativity. To be honest, it's one of those books you'd want to highlight and go back to when your mind is too noisy.

If you too are trapped in your head, then grab a copy of this book. It is a short and cozy read full of hope. Highly recommend!

The Art of Not Overthinking by Shaurya Kapoor is one of the most important & meaningful books I’ve ever read. As someone who overthinks almost everything — just like most people — this book feels like a quiet, grounding presence I can return to anytime. What makes it truly special is how effortlessly relatable & calming it is. You don’t have to read it cover to cover in one go; the chapters are short, simple, & to the point, making it incredibly easy to pick up even on your busiest days.

What I love most is that you can open to any random page, & somehow, it will give you exactly what you need to hear in that moment. It’s like having a wise friend who gently reminds you to breathe, to let go, & to come back to yourself. Each reminder in this book is powerful yet so soothing. Whether you’re spiraling in your thoughts or just need a mindful pause in your day, this book is always there for you.

If you tend to overthink, this isn’t just a good read — it’s an everyday companion. A must-have on your shelf & in your heart. 💛📖✨

One of the best therapeutic book. A therapy that we don't know we needed. It would feeling like the book is talking to us and showering us with care, yes ther care we shower to others. It teaches us to love us even more deeply, truely, and mainly will teach you how to respect urself. How to prioritize urself and how to maintain a health boundaries with others.

Mainly it changed my perspective of everything i saw, of the best book 📖 ✨️ i read.

I'm sure if u read the book in a correct mindset, you would embrace silence around you, and you would definitely start liking your solo time alot 🤞.

Even though it is of 72 pages it would do something to you and change u in that 72pages of time.

Best recommendation we might feel we r okay and happy, but its just that u haven't discovered your scared area but it do need a healing, need not to be in a human form sometimes things we search can even reach us in book format. and don't forgot to mark your fav lines and read them when u r low. It srsly heals u, trust me

Overthinking is now a part of our life, because of modernity, increase in modernity or our lifestyle. Social media is also impacting our lives.

~ While reading this book I felt myself in direct conversation with the author. The writing style was so simple and impactful. This was an easy and a quick read but if you add these points to your life, there will be a cheerful future.

~ This was a good read but the font size really disappointed me. It was written on half page and half was blank. Things mentioned in this book were practical and faced by us all in our daily life. Do try to make these minor changes and change your mindset, Stop overthinking, these were the gist of the book.

I'm someone who sometimes think about old conversations, overthinks many things and doubt small decisions, this book felt like the comforting support I didn’t even realize I needed.

It doesn’t feel like someone is giving a lecture or using difficult words. It's written in a simple, honest and relatable way. Almost like a friend who’s been through it too and just gets it.

What I loved most is that it doesn’t try to force quick fixes. Instead, it gently helps you untangle your thoughts and reminds you to trust yourself a little more. It’s short, yes but packed with quiet truths and comforting reminders. You’ll probably find yourself nodding along, maybe even highlighting entire pages (I did).

If your mind is always running, this book might just be the thing that helps you slow down and breathe.

This book felt less like advice—and more like a warm hand on my shoulder.

"The Art of Not Overthinking" gently walks into the room of your restless mind and switches on the light. It doesn’t shout solutions. It sits beside your chaos, listens without judgment, and softly whispers: “You’re not alone.”

Every page feels like a quiet exhale. It understands the pain of thinking too much—over every word, every silence, every moment that didn’t go as planned. And instead of forcing you to “fix” yourself, it teaches you to *forgive* yourself.

This isn’t just a guide for the overthinker. It’s a companion for the over-feeler. The one who replays conversations, doubts every decision, and tries to carry the weight of every outcome.

You don’t finish this book feeling changed.
You finish it feeling lighter.

And sometimes, that’s everything.

Author’s central message is simple but powerful: overthinking is a habit, not an identity, and with self-belief, mindfulness, and small shifts in perspective, it’s possible to calm the incessant mental chatter that holds you back. Author emphasizes trusting your potential, letting go of negative self-talk, and choosing peace over perfection.

The book is structured around gentle affirmations and clear insights that remind you that you deserve love, happiness, peace, and healing.

The ideas in this book are very basic. For those seeking research-based strategies or advanced cognitive tools to overcome from the habit of overthinking, this book is not for you.

This book is actually a calm voice in a noisy mind, it helps you slow down, take a breath, and remember that your peace is worth choosing.

Have you ever read something and felt like every single word was written just for you?
I'm usually terrible at expressing my emotions or even understanding why I feel the way I do. But this book? It held up a mirror and made me realize that what I’m feeling isn’t wrong — I’ve just been ignoring it or living in denial. And that shouldn't be the case.
As I turned the pages, I felt seen — truly heard for the first time. It reassured me that my feelings are valid, that it's okay to want what I want, and that I’m not wrong for where I stand emotionally.
There’s so much I want to say about how this book made me feel, but words somehow fall short. All I can say is: read it. At least once. Let it speak to the parts of you that you might be ignoring too.
