Soundtracks

The Surprising Solution to Overthinking

By: Jon Acuff

Narrated by: Jon Acuff

Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's the sneakiest form of fear.

It steals time, creativity, and goals. It's the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it's an epidemic. When New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, "Yes!"

The good news is that in Soundtracks, Acuff offers a proven plan to change overthinking from a super problem into a superpower. When we don't control our thoughts, our thoughts control us. If our days are full of broken soundtracks, thoughts are our worst enemy, holding us back from the things we really want. But the solution to overthinking isn't to stop thinking. The solution is running our brains with better soundtracks. Once we learn how to choose our soundtracks, thoughts become our best friend, propelling us toward our goals.

If you want to tap into the surprising power of overthinking and give your dreams more time and creativity, learn how to DJ the soundtracks that define you. If you can worry, you can wonder. If you can doubt, you can dominate. If you can spin, you can soar.

Acuff ought to secure a Grammy for this new beat; it’s sure to become a classic! Flippin’ coins and modulating your personal soundtracks from minor to major keys are concepts I plan to use personally, professionally, but most significantly in my mentoring relationships.

You can take this one to the bank and cash it in because it’s going to pay dividends (but be sure to ask for it in half dollars). Thanks for putting pen to paper and bringing my internal soundtracks to life so I can retire the old classics and spin a catchy new remix.

A lot to chew on

I listened to the audiobook so I couldn’t take notes. You will need a note pad or journal to take notes. Lots of good information.

Great message, easy to listen to. Fun

The basis for choosing how to think is not new but the author makes this fun and provides great techniques to change our overthinking into positive thoughts to move us forward. The creativity and humor are great.

Real solutions for one of life’s biggest problems

Thanks, Jon for a new way to look at an age-old problem and real solutions to combat it.

No Soup For You!

To put it simply, this audiobook was very well put together. I'm in outside sales, married, three kids, and am an avid overthinker. I can't tell you how much this book makes sense and is relatable. This is my first time ever listening to an audiobook, and I felt that it was very easy to pay attention to as I drive. Jon, you put together something that is simple to understand and needed to be documented. Thank you!
