From one of the nation's preeminent experts in the study of women and emotion, here is a breakthrough new book based on the author's award-winning research.
It's not a surprise that our fast-paced, overly analytical culture is pushing people - especially women - to spend countless hours thinking about negative ideas, feelings, and experiences. Renowned psychologist Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this overthinking. Her groundbreaking research shows that an increasing number of women - more than half of those in her extensive study - are doing it too much and too often, hindering their ability to lead a satisfying life.
Overthinking can be anything from fretting about big questions such as "What am I doing with my life?" to losing sleep over a friend's innocent comment. It is causing women to feel sad, anxious, or seriously depressed, and she challenges the assumption that constantly expressing and analyzing our emotions is a good thing. In Women Who Think Too Much, Nolen-Hoeksema provides concrete strategies that can be used to escape these negative thoughts, move to higher ground, and avoid future traps.

The book tackles tough subject for women. Some of us do overthink and get caught up in the negative self messages often found in those storms of thought. Still, there was something missing in it for me personally. The main turn off being the negative statements and tone she uses in the book to demonstrate how to get out of a state of rumination and negative self talk.
Some good advice, but not always well delivered.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Good for people with minor issues. I found it irrelevant and not helpful for myself or those with significant issues. If one has complex PTSD, not helpful. Those who have flashbacks like myself this book is non-helpful.Boring
