Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen is a recent bestselling self-help book that is also available to listen to for free on his YouTube channel! His short book has been translated into 31 languages and sold over 700,000 copies. In this book, Nguyen posits that the reason for your suffering is thinking. While we can't avoid physical or emotional pain, we can stop further suffering by not thinking about it. He differentiates thinking from creative thought or intuition. He argues that when we're in a state of flow, we are in the zone and no longer thinking about what we're doing.
The book is full of little tidbits of wisdom, such as creating goals out of inspiration and not desperation. Nguyen borrows from a lot of self-help manuals of the past with quotes from many great thinkers. It could be summarized with Shakespeare's quote: "There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so." While some of the ideas might be oversimplified for some tastes, Nguyen makes a powerful argument for the power of non-thinking.
