Unconventional Methods for Happiness and Self-Fulfillment
Nick Trenton grew up in rural Illinois and is quite literally a farm boy. His best friend growing up was his trusty companion Leonard the dachshund. RIP Leonard.
Eventually, he made it off the farm and obtained a BS in Economics, followed by an MA in Behavioral Psychology. He likes to say that he has become a professional expert at one of his favorite hobbies: people-watching. Writing, well, that remains to be seen.

I purchased this book through Kindle which I find is much easier to read as I often flip back a page or 2 to re-read. I’m a classic on what the cover applies. It’s why I purchased it. Obsessive thoughts & worrying have been with me for as long as I can remember. I feel genetics is a factor for some, others are life experiences & just who I became as an adult. After going through cancer these issues became worse even though I recovered. I didn’t recover emotionally. I had my Son & the worrier as a Mother kicked in. Before I knew it the stress management I had in place caved & anxiety was a a daily fight. I still fight it. I’m more equipped now in coping with it in working with a Psycholgist & specifically focusing on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). This practice has changed a lot for me in a positive way. I’m always a sucker for books on these topics & always looking for guidance from a different perspective. I’m glad I purchased this book. The 1st chapter I scanned as it’s a lot of explaining of what these mental health conditions are. Chapter 2 gets into the thick of things where I particularly liked “The 4 A’s of Stress Management.” As he states “all you need to remember is four techniques: avoid, alter, accept and adapt. I found this to be very useful to me. It writes a hard to approach topic(s) & breaks them down so it’s so easy to understand. This writing continued throughout the entire book. He breaks it down with an easy way to understand & begin an approach to apply it to your life. I’ve learned meditation is an awesome way to provide TLC to myself on a daily basis & it improves my overall mental health at the sane time as well as so many other amazing benefits. His “The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique” is similar to the way meditation gets started & it can be applied when your not meditating. He does an awesome job describing how to use this technique. Learning how to manage my time has helped me with procrastination. He cites theories but again makes it easy to read. The chapter on Setting SMART Goals truly teaches one-of course putting what you read into action- not to set goals which will lead to failure. Each letter is SMART serves a purpose I’ll remember. I liked “How to find instant zen” the best. Don’t we all wish for that. Again how he presents in actually achieving it made me feel, I can do this~ really! Again meditation is brought into play here as he focuses on the breath process of inhaling & exhaling which we all do. What’s important is paying attention to it more often. I could continue on & on with the rest of his book but the rest doesn’t disappoint. I ended the book feeling more confident in being able to manage my obsessing thinking, my stresses & my anxiety in check. I read portions of the book to my Psychologist in one of my sessions & she applauded his writings. The book was very much worth what I paid. If you are an over thinker I feel you would benefit from this book. I do recommend it!

This book really gets the gears going on how to stop overthinking. I just bought the workbook related to this book and am excited to get started on that. It explains a lot and as I read it I’m nodding my head and thinking “wow I do that, that’s me” it gives me an explanation of a lot of what goes on in my head. This book is definitely on my reread list.

Reading this book helped me channel my thoughts, feelings, and emotions and placed them in a box named “overthinking.” Recognizing when I overthink has improved my stress, how I conquer a bad day, and my relationship ship with myself and others. I am so thankful for this author who created such a simple but thought provoking book, and easy to follow steps. I appreciate the hard work and dedication the author did so we can all stop overthinking and enjoy the moment.Thank you a bunch:)
