Practical Advice for Overthinkers, but Could Be More Engaging

"Overthinking" by Robert Leary is a self-help book that aims to guide readers on overcoming overthinking and forming better habits to unlock their full potential. Here are my thoughts on the book:

Writing Style and Engagement: Leary's writing style is straightforward and easy to understand. He explains his points clearly and provides practical advice. However, as I reached the mid-point of the book, I found it started to become a bit monotonous and even boring at times. One area that could be improved is the lack of bridging between chapters, which made the reading experience less engaging.

Book Content: The book covers a range of topics related to overthinking, including its definition, causes (such as social expectations, comparison, and trauma), and the negative impact of information overload on decision-making. Leary also offers practical insights and solutions, emphasizing the importance of starting with small steps.

Author's Relatability and Knowledge: Robert Leary comes across as both relatable and knowledgeable. He seems to have a good grasp of the subject matter, making it easier for readers to connect with his perspective.

Key Messages: The book highlights the detrimental effects of overthinking, such as undermining self-worth and decision-making abilities. It effectively points out the causes of overthinking in today's social media-driven world. To declutter the mind, Leary suggests several habits, including tidying up your space, forming good habits, removing negative influences, practicing mindfulness, and ensuring a good night's sleep. His emphasis on starting with small changes in habits is a plus.

Impact on the Reader: Reading "Overthinking" has helped me identify the sources of my overthinking and provided practical advice on how to limit my exposure to those sources. It made me realize that overthinking can hinder me from reaching my full potential. It also convinced me that habit changes don't have to be abrupt; small steps can make a significant difference.

Book Structure: The book is well-structured and organized, making it easy to follow. However, it lacks some bridging between chapters, and I felt it didn't explicitly connect all the concepts back to overthinking.

Memorable Message: The key message that resonated with me from the book is, "Every person is unique. Every relationship is unique. Every person’s life is unique. There is no one size-fits-all system for how life should work. Comparing your life to others is a great way to miss out on what makes yours special."

Recommendation: I would recommend "Overthinking" by Robert Leary to individuals who tend to overthink and frequently compare themselves to others. It's also suitable for those looking to avoid information overload and burnout. The book's practical advice is valuable, but be prepared for a somewhat monotonous reading experience.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Don't read this if you are an overthinker...or even if you're not.

I found myself overthinking why I read this book which kind of defeats the purpose of helping with overthinking. I also found myself wondering why I haven't completed tasks like my PhD or writing a book when this book is out there in the world.

There's not a lot of new information or tips. There are quite a few times of "have you heard of "...like dude, yes...I have...I'm here reading about overthinking because I'm still overthinking.

So...yeah...don't read it. Not helpful. Basic advice that is truly stuff any person on the street will tell you as advice to stop overthinking. Hops around to different topics.

Now...the good news? If you want to get over your imposter syndrome that goes with some overthinkers this book will let you know that you can accomplish those tasks because clearly someone thought this should be published.

Basic advices anyone could give

I was expecting a more profound exploration of mindfulness. What I got is a mini book full of anecdotes forcefully put them in place to capture readers in same situations. I think I have a degree of anxiety the thing is that after doing all the evident stuffs the author mention in the book the anxiety remains. So all of the declutter advises aren't necessary.
There's a link between anxiety and philosophy that isn't explore. It's the lack of a proper thinking framework that could mess up our minds and put them navigate without control. When you acquire that framework, the problem is gone.

I think this book would be better for someone that's earlier in their journey toward self development and mindfulness. It's a very short book. It did have some good nuggets and lots of very clear real world examples.

I listened to this on Audible, and at 1.2x speed, the narrator and content sounded a bit like Ned Flanders giving you a one-on-one lesson on how to unfu*k your mind. That was enjoyable.

This book was short and super basic. Nothing was backed up by any citations or research. Kind of a feel good, "I have been there, so do this" kind of books. While I agree with some of the points, the writing style did not hold my interest much.

جدا حبيت الكتاب لانه very informative ويدخل بصلب الموضوع من دون لف ودوران ويجمع بين عدة مواضيع على الرغم من ان الموضوع الأساسي هو التفكير الزائد overthinking ..انصح به للأشخاص المحبين للقراءات المختصرة من دون الدخول بتفاصيل كثيرة.

this book could seem that talks about basic ideas/ tips but at the same time, for me, sometimes things that are pretty basic it’s what I need to hear/read about to make me realize that the majority of the time we make things in life harder than how they really are

Short , covers the basics sometimes obvious but good reminders. Mostly a guide with some tool on how to change your everyday life, so not a book to read at once but more in several times to reflect on the different steps and advices given.

Overall, it's a good read. Some insights may seem quite obvious but it does a great job in explaining how the generalized anxiety symptoms start to kick in without us realizing it.

No major revelations

This book offers some nice tips, but it definitely isn't groundbreaking. It was a quick and easy read. I don't regret reading it.

The tips are not you haven’t heard before, even though it’s still enjoyable and motivational read.

Lai gan piekrītu grāmatā rakstītajam, šī ir visai primitīva grāmata, bez interesantiem piemēriem un daudziem vispārinātiem ieteikumiem. Noklausījos pa ceļam uz Latgali, citādi būtu metis nost.

The title of the book over promised what it offered to the reader. Robert Leary writes for a very simple audience.

A simplistic summary of some buzzwords that reads like a collection of blog posts. Including the free stock photos we see everywhere.

If you are new to minimalism or mindfulness, need someone to tell you that Facebook is not good for you and to spend less time on your phone, this might be an ok starting point.

But if you read blog post or two about these topics, don't bother.
