Summary

We've all been there: stuck in a cycle of what-ifs, plagued by indecision, paralyzed by the fear of getting it wrong. Nobody wants to live a life of constant overthinking, but it doesn't feel like something we can choose to stop doing. It feels like something we're wired to do, something we just can't escape. But is it?Anne Bogel's answer is no. Not only can you overcome negative thought patterns that are repetitive, unhealthy, and unhelpful, you can replace them with positive thought patterns that will bring more peace, joy, and love into your life. In Don't Overthink It, you'll find actionable strategies that can make an immediate and lasting difference in how you deal with questions both small—Should I buy these flowers?—and large—What am I doing with my life? More than a book about making good decisions, Don't Overthink It offers you a framework for making choices you'll be comfortable with, using an appropriate amount of energy, freeing you to focus on all the other stuff that matters in life.

What a fantastic read! As I was reading this book, I felt as though I was having a chat about decision making over coffee with a friend. Anne’s style of writing spoke to me personally, and I just could not wait to see what she was going to say next. I never saw myself as an overthinker in general, but through reading Anne’s book, I could clearly see the areas of my life I definitely overthink my decisions. If you are a person who struggles with decision-making, or doesn’t, this book is for you. As she moves through the decision-making process in great detail, Anne gives practical action steps to address the many ways in which we become stuck when making decisions, hence overthinking. She also clearly states the advantages to moving through decisions with confidence and experiencing the joy of knowing how to do that without so much deliberation. Thank you, Anne, for sharing your knowledge concerning decision-making and encouraging all of us to be better decision makers along the way.

"In this book, Anne Bogel breaks down different areas and ways that we overthink in order to help us complete our thinking cycle and stop overthinking. As a High School teacher, I have long suffered from overthinking and decision fatigue, so any way I can improve in these areas is a win. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on setting limits for yourself- the fewer the options presented the less there is to think about. She discusses things like creating a daily uniform, choosing one meal to make for company, and eating the same thing for breakfast. I realized that I already do this in several areas of my life and am looking forward to finding ways to simplify a few more. This is a great book for teachers who would like to think smarter not harder, it will help you identify what kind of overthinker you are and help you learn to make the decision instead of stressing about the decision.

Anne Bogel’s latest book, Don’t Overthink It, is not on shelves until March 3rd but as a superfan of the author, I couldn’t wait that long. I was thrilled that an ARC (Advanced Reader’s Copy) became available to me with my pre-order and I am excited to share a review. Overthinker was not a characteristic I would use to describe myself. I have my moments where ‘analysis paralysis’ has taken me hostage for a bit but overall, I can usually make decisions pretty easily. That being said, I have a history of sweating the small stuff as they say, especially since becoming a mom. Time is more limited now and, in a way, more precious. I can't waste time struggling with uncertainty. Additionally, my choices don’t just affect me anymore, so I want to be sure I make the right one. I really enjoyed the advice in the book and I’m excited to start putting the strategies into practice in my everyday life. Fans of Anne’s website ‘The Modern Mrs. Darcy’ and podcast ‘What Should I Read Next’ will immediately recognize her gentle style and adorable charm. Her anecdotes are so relatable that all readers will be nodding their heads along with the examples she gives of wasting time and energy agonizing over decisions that could be quick or getting caught up in life clutter that makes simple thought process more challenging than it needs to be. Her strategies and ideas for combatting some overthinking habits seem small and simple but practice can make a big difference. I am enthusiastically recommending this book to anyone who might gain from adding a little space to their lives and can’t wait to gift it to a few people in my life who I know will benefit from it.
