Reading Soundtracks by Jon Acuff felt like having a heart-to-heart with someone who really gets the chaos inside my head. As someone who often overthinks even the smallest decisions—whether it's replying to a text or starting something new—this book came at the right time. I always thought overthinking was just how my brain works, but Acuff gently breaks that myth. He shows that overthinking is often just fear wearing a clever disguise. What stood out most to me is how he flips the script: overthinking isn’t something to shut off—it’s something to redirect. That was such a relief to hear! Instead of telling us to “just think positive,” he teaches us how to create better soundtracks—thoughts that actually help us move forward. It’s simple, actionable, and surprisingly fun. I appreciated that the book includes real research (from 10,000 people!) but still feels light, conversational, and encouraging. It’s like therapy in paperback form, but with humor and hope. Since reading it, I’ve become more aware of the stories I tell myself—and how to rewrite them. If your mind feels like a noisy radio that won’t shut off, *Soundtracks* teaches you how to take control of the dial—and maybe even dance to it. QOTD : How do you deal with your overhtinking ?
