A helpful little nonfiction by my favorite podcaster! #whatshouldireadnext
pickI listened to this on audio. Really short audiobook but it had some good info/tips on how to stop yourself overthinking everything - habit I‘m definitely prone to
#litsylovereads
“… your thoughts can be your enemy, or you can make them your ally.” Btw, I found myself overthinking while reading this book. 🙄
Well-written and with lots of suggestions, this book discusses the issue of overthinking/fixating, especially in women. I‘m not sure I‘m the target audience for this book, as I rarely struggle with overthinking - mostly just analysis paralysis. But I did gain more understanding and a few tips & tricks. I especially appreciated the focus on identifying one‘s personal values, completing cycles, and not duplicating the work.
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Yesterday I took Anne Bogel's advice and just bought the darn flowers instead of overthinking it. Best decision! They definitely add a bit more happiness to my day. 🌷
pickA really enjoyable book with some great actionable suggestions for getting out of your own head when it isn‘t suiting you. I found a fresh perspective, a reminder to give myself the grace and understanding I give to others, and some clear examples to consider. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #20in4 @Andrew65 #Pantone2023 #BlazingYellow @Clwojick #NonFiction2023 #TrueColors @Riveted_Reader_Melissa
pickA quick audiobook with some good points to help one stop overthinking.
pickThis book was a joy to listen to. I highly recommend the audiobook. I took notes throughout and felt like the solutions and advice offered were realistic and simple. Learning not to overthink takes time and practice, but it‘s something I‘d like to work towards in my life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soThis was a little disappointing. I initially tried the audiobook a few months ago and it was bad (weird cadence and odd breathiness, if I remember correctly). This read like one long blog post in the sense that it seemed like a string of personal anecdotes and musings. I would have appreciated having more research referenced in the text to give it more weight. ⬇️
Slowly but surely my reading plans for 2021 are taking shape. One of the challenges I‘ve been doing for the past couple years is the Modern Mrs. Darcy challenge, and I‘ve been waiting for it to be revealed. Today was the day!
Well, it‘s a create-your-own-adventure challenge. It‘s an interesting idea, but I‘m kind of doing that already. I‘ll save the worksheets for some meta reading navel gazing and just do the rest of my challenges for 2021.
pickI really like Anne Bogel—and her podcast What Should I Read Next, and I really struggle with overthinking. This book didn‘t blow my mind and I wish it‘d had more substance—social science research, a consideration for the root causes of overthinking, and an acknowledgement about how realities like class and race impact overthinking. That said, there were plenty of actionable strategies, and reading this will empower you to manage your mind.
pickThis was a quick audio listen that reinforced a lot things that I already do to calm myself the F down. Her stress ball thinking about buying the flowers at Trader Joe‘s made me laugh out loud because for years I didn‘t buy flowers at the grocery store because I felt like they should be a gift or a treat from someone other than me. One day I said “F that!” and bought the flowers. Now I always have some flowers in the house cuz I‘m worth it
You know when a book finds you at exactly the right time? I'm loving this one and getting so many helpful strategies from it too!
pickNot a huge fan of #selfhelp books but this one was enjoyable. It gave advice on how to apply the techniques to stop over thinking, which I liked. Not super major but we gotta start somewhere. Not a fan of the audiobook, so I switched to pb The audio just...I had to play this super high to hear certain parts but also, I was hyper aware of the mouth sounds in certain areas and THAT - esp towards the end - I couldn't handle. Recommend a physical copy
so-soAt 1st her suggestions all seemed too straight forward, but she added depth & tangible takeaways throughout the book. I love the thought of creating more routines in your life to take away the stress of too many daily decisions. The idea to prioritize decisions based on what‘s important to you was good too. Make weekly traditions, like pizza night, but make it something you look forward to.
“If you care, you‘ll be there. If you don‘t, you won‘t.”
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was short and sweet. I overthink everything, so I appreciated the concept and approach she took to the issue. I really wanted there to be scripture references and biblical tie-ins for her advice, but I always love Anne Bogel‘s warm, friendly voice. I recommend this book. Don‘t overthink it, just read it.
pickI enjoyed this one. I have been doing way to much of this lately. This was my #bookbonanza #3 pick.
pickA charming little read with plenty of personal anecdotes and some good, easy tactics to help you from overthinking. I‘ll be re-reading, for sure.

I can‘t believe we are almost done with this round. On Monday I will be mailing Don‘t Overthink It to @Chili
Oh, Happy Day! The Modern Mrs Darcy Summer Reading Guide is out...and I couldn‘t even fit all of them in this picture! I can‘t wait to dig into these!
With #bookspinbonanza, I‘ve paused all my regular “rules” for my monthly TBR - instead I‘ve got just my book spin books, my #potteraday and my #PemberLittens #chapteraday of Sense and Sensibility, along with Jane Austen‘s letters, which I‘m going to try to read along with the novels. Looking forward to seeing how far I get this month!
pickPlease read this book. No seriously, don‘t overthink it 😜
Thanks @annebogel your examples were uncannily relatable!
pickThis book is a true gift. I listened to it, as I‘m still waiting for my pre order to crawl it‘s way to me and all, with our covid 19 lockdown here. I‘m looking forward to reading the paper copy and taking some notes. There‘s so much I could apply to my life and I hope that I do it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis was full of great ideas to help you avoid overthinking and find more joy and simplicity in life. It also has a fantastic list of recommended resources at the end. Well done, Anne, and thank you! #mmdbookclub #modernmrsdarcy #mmdreading
pickI‘ve always enjoyed Anne‘s podcast, and I like her writing, too. Put this one off for a while because I don‘t really identify as an overthinker, and sometimes hearing/reading about people‘s overthinking stresses me out! But I read this anyway and thought it had plenty of useful ideas and tips. 🙂
Sunday morning plans: finishing this up so I can mail it out tomorrow!

Discovered another hidden oasis to read.

One of the things that makes me happy during this pandemic time of social distancing is how the book community has tried to support authors. Author and podcast host Anne Bogel has a Stay at Home online book tour for authors who‘ve had their IRL tours canceled. See her Instagram for details. Author Wiley Cash has a similar thing going where he highlights one book a day via his email list. #KeepLitsyPositive
pickMan this book couldn‘t have come into my life at a more PERFECT time. Don‘t Overthink It by Anne Bogel is the exact self-help book that I needed to cope with the craziness of 2020 so far. But not only that, this book helped me with a lot of things that I‘m hung up on currently but know I need to get over, things that have made me feel stuck in the past, and so much more.

I went to BN today to pick up my online order of these totes. And I bought another copy of this book since I gave mine to a colleague-great message during these times!
#BookReport @Cinfhen
At least I finished one book. 🙄
Don't Overthink It just showed up this morning and I'm looking forward to reading it, though I wish the library had it as an audiobook because I love her voice.
Our schools are closed until April 6 so it looks like I'm going to have plenty of time to read.
On today's episode of Unabridged, Ashley, Sara, and I discuss Anne Bogel's newest book, Don't Overthink It. We share our own tendencies to overthink and the most valuable advice we're taking away. Check it out if you overthink (and I'm guessing you do!), if you have advice to share, or if you just love Anne Bogel as much as we do!⠀

Let us know what you think!
I am definitely an overthinker. About just about everything. So I‘m really looking forward to this book-I can say I didn‘t think twice about buying the flowers at Costco 🌸 🌺 🌸
A conversation with Anne Bogel and Roxanne Coady at RJ Julia‘s Booksellers in Madison, CT. Bogel is the author of three books (including the tagged one), the mind behind the “Modern Mrs. Darcy” blog, and the host of the podcast “What Should I Read Next?”
I am leaning heaviest toward Don't Overthink It. However, the others look good too.
@suvata @Chili @Kmax #LMPBC #round8 #groupj
pickDon‘t Overthink It.
Just buy the book. This book makes sense in our busy world!
Happy book release day to Anne Bogel! She is the host of the What Should I Read Next podcast and Modern Mrs Darcy blog! Modern Mrs Darcy.
I participated on this launch team led by Caleb Peavy because I love Anne‘s books! Buy the book and also #buytheflowers, too!
#dontoverthinkitbook
pickI knew this book was for me in the first chapter when I read one definition of what overthinking looks like: "Sometimes it looks like worry. We might feel stuck reviewing something we've done in the past or imagining something that might happen in the future.” Anne's book reinforces an idea I have found to be true: that our thoughts have a huge effect on how we live our lives, and we must "learn to tend our thoughts with care."
This fantastic little volume is out today! I can not recommend it enough. Because of this book, I just went on a little trip to Louisville to meet the author. I also got to meet some other new and encouraging friends, and to have some brand new experiences that were very out of character for me. This morning, I am putting into practice one of her tips by making a ritual out of my morning tea and journaling. It is so peaceful! Thank you Anne!
pickThanks to partner NetGalley for the digital ARC of Anne Bogel‘s Don't Overthink It: Make Easier Decisions, Stop Second-Guessing, and Bring More Joy to Your Life. The book releases on March 3.⠀

I learned so much from Anne Bogel‘s new, brilliant book Don‘t Overthink It. (One thing I learned is the likely reason I have procrastinated writing this review: ⬇️
