Yeah, I dnfed this. It may be helpful for some people, and the beginning was definitely interesting, but then it got really intense and just confusing.
Mind What You Think is such a useful book for anyone who wants to improve their awareness and mindfulness. I found it extremely helpful on the topics of anxiety and depression. Anyone can benefit by having more positive thoughts and ultimately start re-wiring their brain. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to improve their thought patterns.
Mind what you think is one of the most useful books that I read this year. The author explains in great detail about how we think, why our brains are wired a certain way and how to change recurring negative thoughts.
The first two parts of the book felt a bit long but later parts revealed why the author has to go to great depths about thinking patterns.
The suggestions in the book seem simple but have great value. I am changing my thinking as per the suggestions in the book and I have seen a difference in the way I perceive situations that are within and out of my control.
The author also provides simple thought exercises that make clear how a simple change in thinking can also change our lives. A must-read for people interested in psychology and self-help books.
I found this quite difficult to read. Probably because I know a fair bit about psychology and therapy from a work evidence-based perspective. I think it would be good to read with more time.
I recently read Karen Graham's other book 'accept how you feel' - and I really enjoyed that, and felt like I could take away a lot from it.
This book - Mind What You Think, I didn't enjoy as much. I found it to be very repetitive. I didn't find it as engaging as 'accept...' and I found myself having to really concentrate (and at times re-read) on certain sections as it felt a little complicated.
My favourite section was focussed on anxiety, and I could really relate it to my own personal experience. It also made me think about my own thoughts when I go through times of panic.
Overall I did like this book but I feel like I got a lot more from 'accept how you feel'.
