Don't Believe Everything You Think : The Mind Of An Overthinker

 Don't Believe Everything You Think" by Joseph Nguyen is a thought-provoking and insightful book that delves into the profound impact of our thoughts on our emotions and well-being. This book is particularly suitable for overthinkers and those who frequently feel stressed, offering practical strategies to manage and transform negative thought patterns. What sets this book apart is the author's unique, engaging, and interactive approach, providing readers with practical tasks that help them understand and apply the concepts in their daily lives.



In "Don't Believe Everything You Think," the author emphasizes that thoughts are the root cause of our feelings. This aligns with the ancient Buddhist teaching that desire is the root cause of everything. The author explains that our emotions are directly influenced by our thoughts. For example, when we feel bad, it's usually because we're dwelling on negative thoughts. Conversely, when we feel happy, we're often not overthinking.

The book differentiates between thoughts and thinking: thoughts are the initial ideas that come to mind while thinking is the process of dwelling on those thoughts. The author advises against overthinking, suggesting that this habit is what often leads to negative emotions. This insight was eye-opening for me.

To illustrate, the author asked readers to recall the last time they felt very happy and to notice whether they were overthinking during that time. Usually, the answer is no. Similarly, when recalling moments of feeling bad, it's often when we're stuck in negative thinking.

What sets this book apart is the author's engaging and interactive approach. Unlike other authors who merely explain concepts, this author provides practical tasks to help readers understand and apply the ideas in real life. This made the book much more engaging and impactful.

I found this book incredibly insightful and particularly helpful for overthinkers and people who often feel stressed. After finishing it, I shared it with my sister, who also found it very useful. She even discussed its concepts with her friends, sparking further meaningful conversations.

Which B.Tech CSE specialization is the best?

  I've just finished my 12th standard and sought advice from all my teachers, including the principal, on what course to pursue. Here's their input: Which course should I take? They suggested prioritizing Computer Science (CSC) as the first choice, followed by Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) as the second choice, and other options as the third. They explained that CSC tends to be easier than ECE, often leading to a higher CGPA. Additionally, they emphasized that recruiters typically prefer candidates from the CSC branch over others. Can I take specialization courses? While specialization courses aren't discouraged, they stress the importance of grasping the basics first. They recommended pursuing an undergraduate degree in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) before considering specialization at the postgraduate level. They pointed out that many specialization courses are relatively new, and only a few researchers specialize in them at top institutions like II...

Why did Draupadi have 5 husbands in the Mahabharata?

I see many people answering that it's because of Kunti’s command, but it's actually completely wrong. When Arjuna won Draupadi and brought her home in the Potter’s street, Kunthi was in the kitchen when the brothers arrived. Bhima, wanting to sound lighthearted, cried from the door- step, "Mother, come out, see what Arjuna w has brought today." Without coming out, Kunthi answered from the kitchen, "Very well, share it among yourselves." ."Oh!" exclaimed Bhima. "Oh! Oh!" cried everyone, and the loudest exclamation was from Arjuna, who had won the bride.The mother came out to see why there was such an uproar and cried, "Oh! Who is this you have won, Arjuna?" She was full of joy, and clasped the girl's hand. "Oh! Arjuna, you have won this-bride, this Princess, this lovely creature!.”.Kunthi tried to make light of her own advice and said with a simper, "Of course, I did not know what you meant when you said you had bro...
