About this listen

Stop Being Controlled by Your Thoughts • Take Back Your Focus, Energy, and Life

Do you keep finding yourself trapped in endless loops of overthinking and self-doubt? Do your “lazy” days actually feel more like mental exhaustion than true rest? Do you start with motivation, only to get stuck in procrastination and guilt again?

If your mind feels like it’s working against you, you’re not broken — you’re just following the wrong mental rules. Most people don’t realize their thoughts trap them in fear, avoidance, and delay. Picture this: it’s 10 p.m., you promised yourself you’d start today but you scrolled, snacked, and said, “Tomorrow.” Then guilt hits. It’s not laziness, it’s your brain’s safety program, built to avoid pain instead of creating progress.

In Thoughts That Control You, you’ll learn how to catch the mental traps — procrastination, overthinking, and burnout — that quietly sabotage your success. You’ll understand why your brain resists effort, how fear disguises itself as logic, and how to reprogram your inner dialogue to create unstoppable momentum.

You don’t need more motivation. You need to stop letting your mind bully you into hesitation. Once you understand how your thoughts operate and how to redirect them, you’ll unlock focus, clarity, and peace that no external push can give you.

Stop thinking. Start moving. Order your copy now!

As an athlete, I related to the parts about procrastination and mental fatigue. The message is clear and easy to follow, but many ideas felt repetitive and familiar. Helpful as a reminder, just not very deep or new.

Decent ideas, but nothing new

As a nutritionist, I deal with the science of habits daily, so I was curious about this perspective on procrastination. The book has some relatable moments regarding mental exhaustion, but I found the advice to be a bit basic and repetitive. It’s a decent introductory listen, but it didn't offer the deeper, actionable strategies I was hoping for.

Good concepts, but lacked depth

The book has some helpful insights on procrastination and overthinking, but much of it felt familiar and repetitive. The narration is fine, and the message is clear, though I was hoping for more depth or fresh tools. An okay listen, just not standout.
