Don't Believe Everything You Think: Why Your Thinking Is The Beginning & End Of Suffering (Beyond Suffering)

I found this book really helpful - After having several anxiety free years something changed recently and I started being impacted by health anxieties. The guidance that this book provided has helped me immeasurably. I am able to separate myself from my thoughts and reframe episodes as passing clouds when they arise. I will revisit this book when required and would recommend it to everyone.

such a good book and so interesting and helpful .

I wasn’t sure which book to read 1st, so this was my first choice as I wanted to start with something that was uncomplicated, easy to follow without feeling overwhelmed. This book gave me that and I used the pin notes & highlighting so I can refer back to parts I feel I’d need for quick reference.

This masterpiece by Joseph Nguyen offers profound insights into the relationship between our thoughts and suffering. The book excellently demonstrates how our thinking, not our circumstances, creates our psychological and emotional experiences. What makes this book exceptional is its practical approach to achieving mental freedom. Nguyen brilliantly explains the three core principles - universal mind, consciousness, and thought - and how they shape our moment-to-moment experience. The author's clear writing style makes complex concepts accessible without oversimplifying them. The book's greatest strength lies in its transformative message about finding unconditional peace and joy in the present moment, regardless of external circumstances. Nguyen provides valuable tools for becoming unaffected by negative thoughts and feelings, while maintaining a compassionate approach to self-development. As someone who has read numerous self-help books, this one stands out for its authentic, non-prescriptive approach to mental wellness. The insights about not believing every thought that crosses our mind have been genuinely life-changing. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to understand the root cause of psychological suffering and wanting to experience true mental freedom. This book doesn't just offer temporary solutions - it provides a fundamental shift in how we perceive our thoughts and reality.

The book starts well with a good insights into why over thinking creates problems and anxiety and how to be aware of the impact thinking has. These insights alone are transformative. However, the advice for preventing over thinking essentially boils down to ‘don’t think’ and ‘just let God guide you’. It becomes increasingly focused on religion and God as our saviour. This is a book about spirituality. For me personally, I would have preferred more focus on psychology

I Have heard brilliant things about this book

This book changes lives. This is not an exaggeration. You came to read these reviews for a reason…. You had the thought to buy it so go with it …. You will not regret it. This book was bought FOR me , I then bought this myself for a family member.

I really enjoyed this book. It makes a good argument for why we often get stuck, and offers ways out. While the answers are compelling, they require work which is why I probably should have waited a while before doing a review. But I decided to do one now given there are probably people out there who might strongly benefit from it. As well as giving me plenty of food for thought, much of the book's message resonated with my own professional story where a 'lucky idea' came to me out of the blue (i.e. a thought, as defined in the book). Because the idea genuinely felt like a gift from the universe (and it did go on to help upwards of 30 million people) I ended up documenting my whole story in my own book, The Pursuit of Purpose. If you're looking for ways to get more out of life, give this book a read. It's not long, but it's written well and uses very direct language, and could be what you're looking for.

Has definitely helped me as an overthinker. So good I purchased another copy for a mate

This book is really good. It helps you to understand how your thinking works, gives you insight into nothing is wrong with you, is just thinking is the root cause of all our suffering. Thanks Joseph Nguyen.

Wow, this book is really life-changing and I can’t wait to read the other books. I understand now that it’s no coincidence that I bought this book 2 years ago and finally read it exactly at the time I needed the information. I feel free and peaceful and love in my heart. After reading this book it is chilling how the author breaks down everything in such a simple manner that I completely grasp the idea I had to go back two years to find my order in order to leave a review that’s how phenomenal this book was. It’s such an easy read. Everything makes sense and am now practicing not thinking and it works like a charm. This book is a miracle in itself. I’m so excited. I am going to order some for my friends and my fiancé. This is a gift that will keep on giving peace of mind, happiness and love to the people I love and want to share the information with definitely interested in reading the other books that came out after this book!!!! if I ever forget the information I learned from this book, I will definitely reread over and over again until I have mastered not thinking.

I have read my self help and spiritual books but this book has definitely been one of the best books I have read. I haven't put it down. So much wisdom that seems simple but I am sure the majority of people don't do including myself. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for transformation. I'm already feel physically and mentally lighter just reading and applying what I learned over the last three days. I can't wait to see what's I'm store for myself with this new knowledge Amazing book and I don't think anyone would ever regret reading this book.

A very interesting book. It leaves you thinking the true cause of mental suffering that is actually ' thinking '. One needs to read it repeatedly to keep the encouragement and remind oneself to be mindful of the overthinking we all do.
