Book excerpt: It's not a surprise that our fast-paced, overly self-analytical culture is pushing many people -- especially women -- to spend countless hours fruitlessly thinking about negative ideas, feelings, and experiences. Renowned psychologist Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this overthinking, and it's causing huge numbers of women to feel sad, anxious, or seriously depressed. Perhaps the most frightening aspect of overthinking is the speed with which a slight downturn in circumstances or mood can lead to intense anxiety about life in general. Fortunately, the progressive nature of this problem also means that it can be identified and stopped early on: overthinking can be controlled, and not every setback has to lead to debilitating self-doubt.
