About this listen

Features a bonus conversation with bestselling poet and philosopher Yung Pueblo.

New York Times Bestseller!

From the author of the international bestseller Don't Believe Everything You Think comes a companion guide that transforms the paralyzing cycle of overthinking into clear, intuitive decision-making.


Your brain is wired to overthink decisions—not because something's wrong with you, but because you care deeply about making the right choice.

If you've ever found yourself trapped in endless loops of "what if," analyzing every option to exhaustion, or seeking everyone's advice while still feeling lost... this book is your way out.

The Overthinker's Guide to Making Decisions breaks new ground where "just trust your gut" advice has failed you. Unlike traditional approaches that leave you stranded between endless analysis and vague intuition, this book provides a counterintuitive system that bypasses the overthinking loop entirely.

This isn't about making perfect choices. It's about making aligned ones from a place of clarity instead of chaos.

This step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to:
  • Identify the surprising neurological root of overthinking and how to stop mental spirals before they hijack your mind
  • Apply the step-by-step TRUST framework that walks you through any decision, leaving you with absolute clarity on exactly what to do
  • Use the revolutionary SAGE method to break through analysis paralysis in minutes, transforming overwhelm into a single, clear choice
  • Instantly distinguish between your intuition and fear when making any decision
  • Silence external opinions and reconnect with your inner wisdom so you hear your own voice louder than anyone else's
  • Transform paralyzing fear into psychological freedom, creating space for choices that were previously unimaginable
  • End the exhausting replay of past decisions, releasing regret and creating genuine peace with your choices
  • Develop unshakable emotional resilience so you can make bold decisions knowing you'll thrive regardless of the outcome
  • Recognize actualized decisions: the transformative choices that create the deepest peace, growth, and alignment in your life
  • Uncover the hidden patterns behind your choices with over 70 powerful journaling prompts, reshaping how you decide from a place of alignment, not anxiety
  • Implement 20 ‘Mini Trust Experiments’ that build decision confidence in just days, using low-stakes everyday choices to rewire self-doubt patterns

This book isn’t about fixing your mind. It’s about freeing it.

You don’t need more advice. You need to trust yourself again.

This book won’t tell you what to do. It will help you remember how to listen to the one voice that’s always known.

Yours.

From the start of the book all the way to the end it gave me exactly what I needed to get out of my head and step back into my body again.

Many authors use up your listening time with over explanation and weave long, winding exposition. This is not one of those books, it gets to work straight away with a multitude of direct, punchy and insightful takeaways that gives the power back to the right part of you, which is the whole point..

Exactly what you wanted it to be

Pros: Interview with Yung Pueblo was surprisingly interesting, made the listen sort of worth it. Cons: 1) Read by the author. I've never heard an audiobook read well by the author. Usually I avoid those, but was intrigued by the premise. 2) In addition to the boring voice, the new age platitudes (act from love etc) made it hard for me to focus on finding any potentially useful message. Note to self : stop buying self help books! 3) If I understand it rightly, he says his main motivation in writing his books was to support his mother's ailing business. Honest, and no doubt an honourable impulse, but I found that offputting. I would hope that if you write a self help book, your motivation would be to help people with the particular problem you outline, not to make money for your parent. If your motivation isn't the highest, at least don't advertise the fact! Third star only for Yung Pueblo's input, a pleasant surprise as I was not a fan of his book.
