When Lison mentioned this topic I was immediately curious. As engineers we pride ourselves in thinking deeply about problems but are we in fact overthinking?And the answer is-sometimes!I really recommend Lison's book for its practical techniques backed by insightful analysis and all in an easy-to-access format. Dr Bronwyn Evans, FIEAust FTSE, CEO of Engineers Australia. Mage provides an impressive evidence base and uses analogies and creative narratives to unlock the issues of overthinking. She lands the solution with a compelling and pragmatic approach to making decisions efficiently, even the hardest ones! A must-read for corporate leaders and influencers. Bryan Whitefield, Speaker, facilitator and author of Risky Business and Persuasive Advising. Lison has given us a very practical and clarifying way of thinking about the habit of overthinking. There are clear myths of overthinking as Lison powerfully calls out, that can lead us to get caught in using overthinking as a strategy. If this is you, this book will help you find out the ways in which you can regain control of your habits. Dr Amy Silver, Expert in high-performance work cultures, and author of best-selling book, The Loudest Guest: How to change and control your relationship with fear. When deep and creative thinking is core to what you do daily, it is easy for your ideas to spiral and lose what is important. With so many of us caught up in our heads, there has never been a better time for this insightful book on overthinking. But be careful, don't overthink it! Instead, enjoy the evidence-based insights that Lison presents into this fascinating phenomenon. Dr. Jenine Beekhuyzen, Founder of the Tech Girls Movement Foundation and CEO of Adroit Research.
