Text personally, I really liked this book. I found it very helpful and informational. I noticed myself really relating to a lot of the text. It was refreshing to to know that there are so many people that struggle with anxiety and that the things that I feel quite often are actually normal. There were so many different techniques described that people with anxiety could try. I think that this book could really help a lot of other people learn how to cope with anxiety or at least feel more confident in being able to calm anxiety.

When I realized that I did have control over my life and that I had a say in how my life played out, I felt empowered to be better. It was (still is!) a long, personal, and challenging journey. But I don’t regret a thing—except perhaps not believing in myself and starting sooner!
Anxiety can play out in our work lives, causing us to feel self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or burnout. It can interfere with our relationships, coming between us and the people we love. It can wait for us in the wings, ready to sabotage our efforts and undermine our dreams and goals.
Life itself causes anxiety! Even if we’re doing everything right, simple everyday life can be stressful. Sad, upsetting, or disappointing experiences can worry us, naturally. A string of negative events can make you pessimistic or fearful, burning out your coping mechanisms. Being constantly in a physiological fight-or-flight mode drains your inner resources and leads you to panic and eventually shut down.
Dwelling on the past or worrying about the future – This is a mental habit that takes you out of the living present and forces your attention on what cannot actually be changed, leading to anxiety and paralysis. Negative thought patterns like catastrophizing, ruminating, and blame are similarly disempowering. If we focus on things that we can literally do nothing about, we feel apathetic, powerless, resentful. It’s a learned habit to force our focus on to those things we can change.
The answer is that your brain has a built-in bias. To put it very simply, your brain prioritizes negative information. The so-called negativity bias is what it sounds like—we all have an automatic heightened sensitivity to negative, threatening, or unpleasant data. Dr. John Cacioppo conducted experiments where he showed people various images (neutral ones, positive ones, and negative ones) and looked at the electrical activity in the cerebral cortex. He found that the brain always responded with stronger electrical surges to negative images than to positive ones.
The problem is not that we are not in control or feel uncertain. The problem is that we are trying to avoid or escape the feeling of not being in control or uncertain.
The only way to stop anxiety at its source is to confront and face uncertainty and feeling out of control without experiencing it as something bad and unbearable—something that you need to run away from or protect against. You need to teach your brain that uncertainty is okay, not dangerous, and not a problem. You need to learn a new response—to no longer try to force control, but to practice acceptance instead.
no amount of rumination will give you any more control over a situation than you naturally do. It only gives you the illusion of being in control—and a whole lot of anxiety.
So, what causes a lot of anxiety? We are trying to avoid uncertainty by overanalyzing.
Instead of pushing against uncertainty, embrace it. Instead of trying to answer your worry question (“Does she still love me?” “Do I have cancer?” “Am I going to fail the exam tomorrow?”), deliberately practice leaving it unanswered. Don’t research, don’t Google, don’t ask others, don’t write a list, don’t think about it. Tell yourself that analysis is not the solution, but really just more of the same problem.
You stop. You realize that you are avoiding discomfort. You take a deep breath and just . . . let the discomfort be. You do a mindfulness exercise and distract yourself. You keep breathing without trying to control. To your surprise, within fifteen minutes, your mind has moved on and it genuinely doesn’t seem to be the end of the world anymore that you cannot read your girlfriend’s thoughts. In time, you develop something special: emotional resilience, i.e. anti-anxiety. Every human being must contend with uncertainty and doubt; those who suffer from anxiety may be encouraged to realize that they are not actually facing an extraordinarily high or dangerous level of uncertainty—only that their response is exaggerated. It can be a relief to see that you don’t actually have to control the rest of the world around you, but merely yourself. This is the path of learning self-regulation, emotional mastery, and psychological resilience.
tackling anxiety comes down to the learned skill of emotional regulation. Rather than deny or squash down our natural emotions, we learn to manage them consciously and deliberately. We do this by becoming responsive rather than reactive.
Becoming responsive is about pausing before we act in a situation, practicing impulse control, looking at our own motivations, beliefs, and thoughts, and finding healthy.
When we stop trying to exercise control over the world around us, we actually set ourselves free. We give the world the freedom to fulfill us and remove its power to destroy us. Letting go is letting happiness in.
Examination. Now that you’ve identified these attachments, inspect them more closely. What fuels your attachment? Do fear or insecurity play a part? How valid are your fears? If you sense they’re irrational, then what are you really worried about? Take a lot of time with this step.
Acceptance. Accept each moment exactly for what it is. Don’t compare or try to turn it into yesterday—that’s gone. Don’t try to extend the moment into something that will last forever, because it won’t. Absorb the moment fully and enjoy it because it will pass.
Now is enough. Tomorrow will never be the same as today. Relationships will end; others will begin. Your surroundings will change. You’ll be able to deal with those changes when they come. But right now, in the present moment, appreciate and enjoy what you have. No matter what the future holds, what you have now will always be enough.
Practice letting things be. Make peace with the moment. Don’t worry if something’s wrong with you or your life. Operate from a standpoint of acceptance. This doesn’t mean you can’t work toward creating a better tomorrow or improving yourself. It just means accepting where you are now as the foundation for your achievements.
Release the need to know. Life will always be uncertain. Obsessing about tomorrow is self-defeating; there will always be another tomorrow after it. You can make projections and predictions about the future, and you might be right. But you can’t affect them until they happen. The best way to be prepared is to work on what’s before you right now.
Our life is full of teachable moments, like the parables of old or Aesop’s Fables. Regardless of how negative a particular event may seem, you can always try to reinterpret it as a positive opportunity or look at the other side of the situation. The more you turn the obstacle upside down, the more you’ll realize that there really is no such thing as good and bad. It all depends on how you choose to perceive something.
For centuries, Stoicism has been a virtual antidote for emotional disruptions that can plague any of us. It tells you that you unequivocally have the power to create your own reality. Meanwhile, Buddhist principles also make it clear that your surroundings don’t need to change for change to occur. Your mental state is freer than you think, and sometimes a mental switch is all it takes for resilience to spring forth.
And it’s been scientifically proven that gratitude is more or less a natural antidepressant. Thinking about or asking what you’re grateful for actually activates certain neural circuits that produce dopamine and serotonin, the neurotransmitters that regulate our pleasure centers and mood levels. They then travel the neural pathways to the “bliss” center of the brain, much like a prescribed antidepressant. The more you stimulate them, the stronger and more automatic they become, and the more your resilience and calm become a natural way of living.
Detachment comes from Buddhist theory or the writing of the ancient Stoics. In their respective ways, they teach us to build inner resilience. Pain is inevitable, but in attaching to it, we cause suffering, which is a choice. We can decide to cultivate emotional serenity and equanimity. With conscious awareness, we can break our attachment and simply accept reality for what it is.
Neutrality is the commitment to facing life as it is, and realizing that events are neutral, and it is our mental and emotional interpretation that decides whether they are good or bad. Outside forces do not make us anxious, rather our own thoughts and beliefs do, and we have control over those. Realizing this, we understand that we have the power to create our reality.
Gratitude and the ability to savor life pulls us out of anxious rumination and overthinking and counteracts our natural bias for the negative. By dwelling on the good things in life, we remind ourselves of our blessings, foster positive emotions, and counteract negativity.
Some people look at meditation and see nothing but avoidance—it seems selfish to them, to sit around doing “nothing” while there’s real work to be done. By the time you’re done reading this book, you’ll hopefully see that meditation is one of the most valuable ways to spend your time, and, rather than being escapist and selfish, it actually encourages an embracing of reality and a deep compassion for self and others.
Though meditation can lead to relaxation, it is not the same as simply chilling out (as valuable as chilling out is!). Relaxation is an effect of meditation, but not strictly its method. Similarly, using affirmations, visualizations, trance, or self-hypnosis may be beneficial, but these things encourage a wholly different state of mind than does meditation. There are many different states of consciousness—to simply alter consciousness (for example, through psychedelics) is not the same as meditation.
The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique
First, find five things in your environment that you can see. You might rest your eyes on the lamp in the corner, your own hands, a painting on the wall. Take a moment to really look at all these things; their textures, colors, shapes. Take your time to run your eyes over every inch and take it all in.
Next, try to find four things in your environment that you can feel or touch. Feel the weight of your body against the chair, or the texture of the jacket you’re wearing, or reach out to feel how cool and smooth the glass of the car window feels against your fingers.
Next, find three things that you can hear. Your own breath. The distant sound of traffic or birds.
Next, find two things you can smell. This might be tricky at first, but notice that everything has a smell if you pay attention. Can you smell the soap on your skin or the faint earthy smell of the paper on your desk?
Finally, find one thing that you can taste. Maybe the lingering flavor of coffee on your tongue. Even if you can’t find anything, just dwell for a moment on what your taste buds are sensing. Are they really “off” or does your mouth almost have a taste of its own when you stop to become aware of it? Stay there for a moment and explore that sensation.
The point of this exercise is, on the surface, distraction. While your senses are active, your brain is engaged in something other than endless rumination, and your overthinking is halted. You put a spanner in the works and stop runaway thoughts. Practice this technique often enough and you may notice that it instantly calms you and slows you down.

this is it
Nothing ground breaking but I've read and listened to a lot of books on anxiety and overthinking and this is one of my faves. Gives us practical, easily digestible tips that are very timely and much needed. My only wish is I read it sooner. I got the kindle version but I'm considering getting the actual book. I can imagine this will also be great gift for people in our lives who are busy or cynical because it's quite a quick read but engaging and relatable. Don't overthink it! Get this one! Thank you Nick!

كتاب عملي لكيفية التخلص من القلق والتفكير الزائد
October 15, 2024
الترجمة رائعة
July 8, 2024
Generally a good concept and rather informative. To me nothing new except the several techniques. What irritated me quiet a Lot, was that he referred to the Reader often indirectly as If it was a Woman Like he would have written the book as If he would assume it was read by only females. Other Times ever so often he named examples of "issues or incidents" and they seemed Like he would have taken These examples Out of Personal History. I dont know, to me it seemed Odd and Kind of Like a Personal Note Pad. Difficult to describe but I wasnt the biggest Fan.

قوة الأفكار الهادئة، كتاب مُساعد للتغلب على القلق والتفكير المفرط.
نقاط مهمة ذُكرت في الكتاب -مع التحفظ على بعض المصطلحات والأفكار الموجودة فيه- :
١- "كل فعل، يسبقه معتقد أو فكرة، تثيرها الظروف".
٢- "بدلًا من أن ننكر عواطفنا الطبيعية أو نسحقها، نتعلم أن نديرها على نحو واعٍ ومتعمد. ونفعل ذلك من خلال الاستجابة وليس رد الفعل".
٣- "قد يكون التخلي هن التعلق ميخفًا ، ولكنه أسهل كثيرًا مما يبدو؛ ذلك أننا لا ننفصل عن الناس أو الأشياء، بل نغير طريقة تعاملنا معهم".
٤- "ثبت علميًا أن الأمتنان هو أشبه بمضاد طبيعي للاكتئاب....".

no easy words on this book
Most of the words in this book were difficult for me
I have to use a dictionary most of the time
Thanks for the Kindle dictionary
Looks like this book was selected for the college degree & up. Not a universal book.

A beautiful book which teaches you some great techniques to train yourself of having a stoic mindset. However, it's important to understand reading and implementing these is a long journey. A great introduction specially for someone who ends up in the rumination spiral.

Really solid advice if not a bit common sense. I feel like any person who's lived with anxiety for any amount of time would already know the bulk of the information provided here.
