I Think Too Much: How to Make the Most of Your Highly Effective Mind

"Super-Efficiency"—heightened sensitivity to information, other people’s moods, and extreme emotional receptiveness—is a problem for many people today. They are so sensitive that communication with an unpleasant person gives them a headache, and in the literal sense they feel nauseated by unpleasant pictures or events. They suffer from an bottomless memory that stores extra information in their heads. And a high level of empathy makes them experience other people’s troubles as if they were their own.

Kristel Petikollen is a French psychologist with solid experience—she worked on this problem for several years. The result of her research is her own book, which became a bestseller in France among books on psychology and still hasn’t lost its position. After reading the book, you’ll learn about the main problems of super-efficient people, understand the reason behind these problems, learn to recognize such people in your environment, and master the skills of managing a super-efficient mind. And most importantly: you’ll see that “super-efficiency” can become a real treasure rather than a source of worry.
