Episode 133

Released June 8, 2023

I have recently been reading an excellent book. I stumbled across it because a client recommended it. It's called 'Stop Thinking, Start Living', and it's by Richard Carlson. It is in fact a few years old now having been written in the 1990s but is quite brilliant in its simplicity.

The essence of the book is that Richard believes those of us prone to thinking a lot may be at risk of encouraging mild to moderate depression. This is because our every moment is involved in thinking. Thinking isn't a bad thing, or a problem if we are constructive about it. But instead, many of us are ruminators, prone to revisiting problems over and over. Looking for the answer within the problem he believes, does nothing more than deepen the discomfort of it for us. If anything, it positively promotes or deepens our troubles.

I go into this and more on this week's show.
