‘Don’t Overthink It: Make Easier Decisions, Stop Second-Guessing, and Bring More Joy to Your Life’ by Anne Bogel

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Overthinking is something we all do, at least some of the time. It’s one of those universal, recognisable, human traits that (if we are honest) we all suffer from to some extent. Bogel makes the job of making small decisions easier, by getting us to think in advance about the bigger picture. Making value decisions ahead of time that overarch smaller ones, can save us a lot of headaches. She shares good advice about how to shape habits and routines to reflect the things that we value, and help us to avoid overthinking every little piece of our daily lives. It can be very freeing!

Anne Bogel is an author, podcaster, and book blogger. She always has creative and sensible ideas when it comes to recommending books and in offering wisdom on a variety of topics. Her blog is titled Modern Mrs. Darcy and you’ll find all you need to know about Anne there. I was honoured to be a guest earlier this year on her podcast What Should I Read Next (Episode 324).

Just for fun I’ll add this! My favourite youtube sensation has this hilarious song about overthinking. The Holderness Family make good clean parodies of well known songs on many aspects of family life. They are hilariously funny and sharply witty. Apparently, they suffer from overthinking as well!
