Don't Believe Everything You Think (Expanded Edition): Why Your Thinking Is The Beginning & End Of Suffering

I really enjoyed Don’t Believe Everything You Think. It’s an easy and straightforward read, but it gives you a lot to think about. I especially liked the way Joseph Nguyen explains overthinking and how easily we can get caught up in our own thoughts and create unnecessary stress for ourselves.The book helped remind me that just because I have a thought doesn’t mean I have to believe it or let it control how I feel. I found the message comforting and surprisingly helpful in everyday life.It’s a short book, but there are definitely ideas I’ll come back to again. I would recommend it to anyone wh

Easy and Thought-Provoking ReadI really enjoyed this book. It’s an easy read but gives you a lot to think about, especially how much our own thoughts can affect how we feel.
