Overthinking Cure

Author Nick Trenton, who trained in economics and behavioral psychology, offers practical methods for loosening the grip of anxiety and rumination. Readers are shown how to reframe negative thinking, recognize common cognitive distortions, step back from their own thoughts, and learn to see situations in shades rather than as black and white. The aim is to help people stop the cycle of self-criticism and sleepless worry, and to live more fully in the present.
