Managing Overthinking (HBR Emotional Intelligence Series)

Get your mind unstuck.

It can be challenging to be mindful when you're trapped in your own head. Overthinking comes in many forms—overanalysis, perfectionism, worry, rumination—and each of these can be harmful to your productivity and well-being at work.

This book will teach you how to understand what type of overthinking you are experiencing, realize when you're cycling in a mental loop, and break free so that you can trust your gut, make a decision, and move forward with confidence.

This volume includes the work of:

• Alice Boyes • Melody Wilding • Thomas H. Davenport • Sian Beilock
