Infos

The author of Women Who Think Too Much reveals a hidden source of depression in women, with "e;useful recommendations for change"e; (Psychology Today).Depression is a common and debilitating problem among women, though it rarely occurs in a vacuum. As Susan Nolen-Hoeksema's original research shows, overthinking-a tendency to ruminate on problems rather than to seek solutions-often co-exists with unhealthy eating habits and/or heavy drinking. In fact, eighty percent of women who report suffering from one of those also suffer from another. This groundbreaking book, written in a vivid narrative style that captures the complexities of women's lives today, explains how the three core problems of the Toxic Triangle reinforce one another, wreaking havoc on women's emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, and careers.Escape is possible, the author assures us, for those who are already aware that they suffer from a serious problem as well as for the hundreds of thousands of others who have not yet examined the role that bingeing and purging-on negative thoughts, food, or alcohol-plays in their lives. Nolen-Hoeksema shows women how to harness their emotional and interpersonal strengths to overcome the stress caused by a destructive relationship with food, alcohol, and overthinking so that they can fashion effective strategies for living a happier, healthier life.
