Learn how to overcome anxiety, self-doubt, and self-sabotage without needing to rely on motivation or willpower – now in a beautiful, expanded edition with even more personalized guidance.

“An essential first step to letting go of that suffering.” —Simon Sinek
“An inspirational guide.” —Deepak Chopra
“The tools necessary to rediscover our intuition and to create a future aligned with our individual goals and inspiration.” —Dr. Nicole LePera
“A relatable guide that shows all of us how to free ourselves from toxic overthinking and replace it with inner peace.” —Lori Gottlieb
“Brilliant and easy solutions to avoid overthinking.” —Francesc Miralles
“A thoughtful way to help you retrain your brain." —Apple Books

In this book, you'll discover the root cause of all psychological and emotional suffering and how to achieve freedom of mind to effortlessly create the life you've always wanted to live.

Although pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

This book offers a completely new paradigm and understanding of where our human experience comes from, allowing us to end our own suffering and create how we want to feel at any moment.

New in this expanded edition:

  • New chapters addressing reader questions and feedback
  • Journaling prompts and contemplative exercises to let go of negative ruminative thinking
  • Original poetry to uplift, encourage, and inspire

In This Book, You’ll Discover:

  • The root cause of all psychological and emotional suffering and how to end it
  • How to become unaffected by negative thoughts and feelings
  • How to experience unconditional love, peace, and joy in the present, no matter your external circumstances
  • How to instantly create a new experience of life if you don’t like the one you’re in right now
  • How to break free from negative thought loops
  • How to let go of anxiety, self-doubt, self-sabotage, and self-destructive habits
  • How to effortlessly create from a state of abundance, flow, and ease
  • How to develop the superpower of being okay with uncertainty
  • How to access your intuition and inner wisdom beyond the limitations of thinking

No matter what has happened to you, where you are from, or what you have done, you can still find total peace, unconditional love, complete fulfillment, and an abundance of joy in your life. No person is an exception to this. Darkness only exists because of the light, which means even in our darkest hour, light must exist.

Within this book, you'll find timeless wisdom to empower you with the understanding of our mind's infinite potential to create any experience of life we want, regardless of external circumstances.

Don't Believe Everything You Think is not about rewiring your brain, rewriting your past, or positive thinking. We cannot solve our problems with the same level of consciousness that created them. Tactics are temporary. An expansion of consciousness is permanent.

This book was written to help you go beyond your thinking and discover the truth of what you already intuitively know deep inside your soul.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

It’s easy to read and if you feel lost or down will bring you back on track! I was suffering from anxiety for the past few months and was prescribed antidepressants which I was very reluctant to take and two month in I want to get off, and I feel like this book got me closer to do it and manage my anxiety (get rid of it) myself!

    “You are already all the love, joy, peace, and fulfillment you seek. It is only when we forget that fact and get caught up in our thinking that we do not see it.”

    This book has so many amazing one liners that really make you feel something deeply.

    I deal with anxiety and panic disorder and reading this book helped me a lot. A few days back I was feeling a panic attack coming on and I immediately grabbed this book and picked up where I left off. I instantly felt relief and started actually laughing a little. The mind is such a scary yet beautiful thing.

    Anyways loved the book and it’s a quick read.

    Wow!!! My boyfriend and I both read this book and it is an absolute must read! In the beginning, Jospeh Nguyen says you will be different by the end, and he was absolutely right.
    It has made us both feel so much relief as we both struggled with mental health issues. It is a total mind refresh. It was absolutely amazing and I would honestly recommend it to everyone because anyone can benefit from this.
    The book was an easy read and it felt more personal than trying to be “professional” which I really liked.

    As someone who studies psychology, this book is psych 101 if you’ve studied it. Great for people looking for motivation and trying to reach a positive mindset. As a psychologist, I didn’t find it life-changing at all, but for a layperson I think it’s a great motivational and education book to inspire positivity and a change in perspective. If you’re struggling with these things I’d recommend. It’s a quick and easy read but has a lot of useful information if you don’t have a background in psychology.

    “Don't Believe Everything You Think" is a thought-provoking book that delves into the nature of our thoughts and how they shape our perception of reality. The author skillfully explains how our minds can often mislead us, creating narratives that aren't necessarily true. This book encourages readers to question their automatic thoughts and provides practical strategies for developing a more mindful and discerning approach to thinking.

    One of the standout aspects of the book is its accessibility; the concepts are presented in a clear and engaging manner, making it easy for readers to grasp and apply the ideas to their own lives. The author uses relatable examples and anecdotes to illustrate how unchecked thoughts can lead to unnecessary stress and anxiety.

    Moreover, "Don't Believe Everything You Think" emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and mindfulness in achieving mental clarity and emotional well-being. It offers valuable insights into how we can break free from negative thought patterns and cultivate a more positive and realistic outlook on life.

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

    I am an anxious, overthinking person. This book taught me how to rewire my brain in order to suffer less, be stressed less, be anxious less. Its easy to read, the concepts are nicely explained, over all a very nice book to read if you like self improvement and have an open mind to welcome new ways to deal with your mind, emotions and thoughts. It really is a gift.
