Summary

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.

I didn't expect it to be this good

Having the book read by Jon Acuff himself was a delight. The book was entertaining and insightful. I'm off to go play my new soundtracks for the big hairy audacious goals I want to achieve.

Jon is a really funny writer and story teller. I didn't expect to laugh as much as I did. Jon, if you see this: thanks for sharing "Soundtracks" with the world. I want to become as entertaining as you were on your writing some day.

Brilliant book & easy listen

This is an essential book for anyone who is aware of the power of their thoughts, but who would like to give that power to a better way of thinking! Jon reads in an entertaining & fluid way that makes this book a delight to listen to. Highly recommend.

Sooo good!!

I loved this audiobook. Im about to start it again. Not only is it life changing info, it’s hilarious. It surprises me to be deep in thought one second and then literally laughing out loud the next. As an artist/builder/decorator I do a lot of overthinking…. But I’ve just acquired some new power tools to add to my arsenal to help propel me past done mental roadblocks.
Ive started buying the boom as gifts for people. It’s that good.

A perfect action plan (and fun too)

Did I stop overthinking after reading this?
YES!!!
Absolutely brilliant book. So many realistic and actionable tips.
Jon points out stopping overthinking means you are 400% more likely to reach your goals.
Lots of very funny additions and side notes. Helped the info really sink in for me.

Mic Dropped

It's been a very long whilst since I thoroughly enjoyed listening to a book, and this one, has made me laugh, encouraged and given me plenty of light bulbs. I will actually be listening to this over again. As an overthinker and perfectionist, youve given me a whole other perspective and narrative.

thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hi! I’m a psychotherapist and picked up this book hoping it would help me in my work with overthinking clients.

I enjoyed the examples given, the humour and the fact it is narrated by the author himself. I have now recommended it to a few people too and I hope they get as much from it as me.

Very Strong Material and funny

I didn't even know this was an issue!!! But this shines a big bright light into the soul (definitely my soul) and shows how bleak it can be in there! Then we are provided with some tools (internal dialogues related) - many and various - to lift us from despair or inaction. Pretty good. Thanks :)
