Don't Believe Everything You Think
Joseph Nguyen argues that much of our suffering comes from overthinking, and offers a simple way to find peace by not holding on to every thought.
Three big ideas
- Thoughts are not factsA thought is just a thought. You don't have to believe or follow it.
- Thinking about thoughts causes stressSuffering often comes from replaying and judging our thoughts.
- Feelings point to your thinkingUncomfortable feelings can signal that you're caught up in thought.
