Ever wish you could stop your mind from working overtime? Thinking too much is very stressful, potentially causes physical conditions and has a massive impact upon your peace of mind and productivity. Your mind is a remarkable tool that you are meant to ‘pick up’ and use when required, and then ‘put down’ when you’re done thinking. However, if you cannot stop thinking whenever you want, then you are not thinking--instead you are being THUNK! With this fun and enlightening book, meditation teacher Sandy C. Newbigging shares advice and exercises for changing your relationship with your mind so that you can enjoy the serenity and success that comes from freeing yourself from thinking too much.
