Don’t Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen is a self-help book with an undeniably compelling title—one that immediately sparks curiosity and sets high expectations. The premise promises insight into the nature of overthinking, making it an appealing pick for readers seeking mental clarity.
The book identifies 'thinking' as the cause of suffering and discusses overthinking, yet it fails to provide concrete strategies for moving beyond it. Even the chapter “How Do We Stop Thinking?” remains vague, introducing the idea of “non-thinking” without offering any real steps or actionable advice. The book focuses on why people suffer, but does not adequately address how to overcome it. This limits its practical value for readers seeking solutions.

That said, the book is not without merit. The chapter “Thinking vs. Thought” stands out as insightful and genuinely useful. Additionally, the philosophical quotes that open each chapter are thoughtfully chosen, adding depth to the reading experience. The language is simple, the tone accessible, and at approximately 150 pages, it is a quick and easy read.

Overall, while the book introduces interesting ideas, it would have benefited greatly from actionable guidance and practical exercises. Readers new to self-help may find it a helpful introduction to mindful awareness. However, those who have already explored similar themes may find it lacking in substance. I recommend The Power of Your Subconscious Mind as a more practical and fulfilling alternative.

My Rating: 4/5
