Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, make decisions more confidently, or simply enjoy more peace of mind, Trenton’s book offers practical wisdom that can make a real difference in your life.

“So, what’s really happening is that worries are controlling you rather than you controlling them. A stressful thought comes along and cracks the whip, and you instantly obey. The mistake we make is to think that if a negative thought comes along, there is no other option but to focus on it.” – Nick Trenton

“Overthinkers are typically intelligent, but sometimes that just means they’re really good at hiding obvious things from themselves!” – Nick Trenton
