The Surprising Solution to Overthinking

Book • 2021

In 'Soundtracks,' Jon Acuff explores how overthinking hinders our potential and offers a proven plan to change overthinking from a problem into a superpower.

The book introduces the concept of 'soundtracks' as the repetitive thoughts that shape our perceptions.

Acuff provides practical strategies, such as creating personalized playlists of empowering soundtracks and using daily affirmations, to replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

He emphasizes the importance of controlling our thoughts and gathering evidence to support positive thinking.

The book is based on a study involving 10,000 participants and offers tools to help readers rewire their thought processes and achieve their goals.
