Why I'd hand it to you

Joseph Nguyen argues that much of our anxiety and suffering doesn't come from our circumstances or even our thoughts, but from how we engage with our thinking. He encourages readers to notice thoughts without holding on to them and to find peace and clarity underneath. It is short, simple and easy to finish in a sitting. My caution: the ideas are repeated often, and the spiritual framing is vague, so some readers find it too simplistic, especially anyone dealing with clinical anxiety or depression, who may need professional help. For an overthinker who wants a quick reset, it can help.
