It's no surprise that our current lives lead many people—women in particular—to spend countless hours dwelling on negative feelings and experiences. Renowned psychologist Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this "overthinking," and her groundbreaking research shows that a growing number of women—more than half of the women in her extensive study—do this too much, leading to sadness, anxiety, and depression. Nolen-Hoeksema challenges the assumption—promoted by many psychology experts over the past several decades—that constantly expressing and analyzing our emotions is a good thing. In "Why Women Overthink," Nolen-Hoeksema shows what causes so many women to overthink and offers concrete strategies to escape these negative thoughts, move to a higher psychological level, and live more productively. This book will change the lives of its reader.
