About this listen

Are you stuck inside your own head? Learn how to stop obsessing and start really living with this breakthrough guide.

In today's world, it's easy to get stuck in an endless loop of negative thoughts. And if you're like many people, you've probably tried to think your way out of one of these thought cycles, throwing more thoughts on the pile until you're left with an out-of-control bonfire of anxiety, self-criticism, resentment, catastrophizing, and hopelessness. Attempting to stop your thoughts or replace them with positive ones is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Inevitably, you drown in a sea of unhappiness. Has it ever worked for you? If the answer is "no", it's probably time to find a real solution.

In Can't Stop Thinking, psychotherapist and spiritual counselor Nancy Colier offers the key to breaking free from the repetitive and obsessive thinking that is causing your stress, anxiety, worry, and unhappiness: Change your relationship with your thoughts. Using a powerful blend of mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), you'll learn how to surrender your thinking mind, and end repetitive thinking, rumination, and self-criticism - freeing you up to discover a life of self-compassion, presence, peace, and joy.

The first half of the book was more interesting for me than the second one. I liked the explanation and examples of how our mind works and the exercises. However at some points I didn't agree with the point of view of the author eg other people live in their own reality and you can't control them, however if their "reality" hurts other people, it doesn't mean that I have to go along with it and ignore them because that's just their own reality. But in general it is an empowering book and the narrator was good as well.

I would recommend this for those who struggle with rumination, anxiety and struggling with the concept of acceptance. Try this book with an honest, open mind and be prepared to put the practice in.

She makes an assumption about Identity and then attacks what most people see as defining who they are. For example she says we are not our thoughts with all of the observer of our thoughts that doesn’t seem to consider that we are in fact both, why have such a binary approach to human identity. That being said it’s a good book and, I hope she forgives me saying this, make me think.

A very binary approach to life

Whilst I am familiar with many of the approaches and theories addressed, this book goes into depth about the application of such concepts.
