Why do women overthink?

It is not surprising that our current lives push many people – especially women – to spend countless hours dwelling on negative feelings and experiences. The renowned psychologist Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this state “rumination,” and her groundbreaking research shows that an increasing number of women – more than half of the women in her extensive study – do this frequently, leading to sadness, anxiety, and depression. Nolen-Hoeksema challenges the assumption – promoted by many psychology experts over the past several decades – that constantly expressing and analyzing our emotions is a good thing. In her book "Women Who Think Too Much," Nolen-Hoeksema shows us what makes many women think too much and offers concrete strategies that can be used to escape these negative thoughts, move to a higher psychological level, and live more productively. This book will change the lives of its female readers.
