Don't Believe Everything You Think: Why Your Thinking Is The Beginning & End Of Suffering (Beyond Suffering) Paperback – March 28, 2022

I picked this book up during a time where, on paper, everything in my life was going right—great momentum in my career, big opportunities ahead—but internally, I was feeling more anxious than I needed to be.I wasn’t looking for some “deep spiritual journey.” I was just hoping to find something that could help me quiet my mind and stay focused.What I got was something way more powerful than that.This book helped me see how much of my stress wasn’t from life itself—but from the way I was thinking about life. It’s not heavy or complicated. It’s super digestible, direct, and hits you with truths that feel obvious after you read them—but you never saw it that way before.Nguyen ties in simple stories, even old proverbs, to make his points land. One that stuck with me was about a young scholar who had to empty his cup before receiving the master’s teaching. And honestly? That’s exactly how some of these critics sound—like their cup is still full. They miss the point completely.This isn’t a book you “analyze.” It’s a book you feel. It’s not here to impress you with language—it’s here to help you experience peace. And it did that for me.I realized I’m not my thinking brain.And the moment I stopped thinking (negative thought patterns) —The anxiety fades. My clarity comes back. And I move better.If you’re someone chasing big goals but feel like your mind’s always racing, or you’re trying to be more present without forcing it, read this. Not to learn something new, but to unlearn the stuff that’s been getting in your way.

This book helped me to find my self . Stop overthinking and give the best and simplest tool to overcome overthinking, suffering and anxiety I strongly recommend it for everyone who is looking for inner peace

My intuition said this was a book I needed to read and I was write to buy it. Short read but worth the read.
