Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking

Intrusive thoughts are not a momentary weakness and not a character trait. They are the most cunning form of fear—and the scourge of the 21st century. Negative beliefs like “I’m not good enough to charge money for my work,” “I’ll never be able to speak in public,” “I’ll never become a manager, because there are employees who are better than me” have sunk so deeply into our heads that we invest energy in them without even realizing it. New York Times bestseller author John Assaraf calls such thoughts broken soundtracks that steal our time, inspiration, and strength. John conducted a study by asking 10,000 people whether they struggle with intrusive thoughts, and 99.5 percent answered: “Yes!” In his new book, the author offers a proven plan to turn excessive thinking from a super-problem into a superpower. After studying John’s method, you won’t get rid of negative thoughts once and for all—but you will be able to make your brain work with better soundtracks that will help you unlock your potential.
