This is the overthinker's guide to a happier life. Everyone falls into mental traps, those annoying ways of thinking that waste time and energy. Maybe we persist in watching a bad movie or fixate on the clock. Maybe we just watch our thoughts, unable to stop the turning wheels. Finally, there's a way out. With intelligence and wit, professor Andre Kukla shows how to identify and free yourself from 11 time-wasting mental traffic jams: persistence, amplification, fixation, reversion, anticipation, resistance, procrastination, division, acceleration, regulation, and formulation.
