Publisher's summary

When you are criticized or rejected, do you have a tendency to lash out or withdraw entirely? Both types of kneejerk reactions can have lasting and unintended consequences, affecting our friendships, careers, families, and romantic relationships. The truth is, overreacting hurts us as much as it hurts the people around us. You may see overreacting as an unchangeable part of your personality, but in reality, this tendency, like any other, can be unlearned.

Stop Overreacting helps you identify your emotional triggers, discover a new way of processing impulsive thoughts and feelings, and understand how your emotions can undermine your ability to think rationally in moments of crisis and stress. You'll learn how to neutralize overwhelming emotions and choose healthy responses instead of flying off the handle. Ready to make a change for the better? It's time to stop overreacting and start feeling collected and in control.

Very Informative.

Clear and useful. Provides good tips on controlling overreacting behaviors and the reasons they’re present in one’s psyche.

So helpful!!!

Listening to this book really helped me realize the emotional problems and contributing factors that I had and the affect they had on destroying my family. I hope others can find it before it’s too late for them

Brilliant!

Loved this approach. Very practical. Narrator was easy on the ear. My first audible book!

Kinda Dull

The voice over was hard to listen to not much emphasis. Still was a good message.

Best self-help book I’ve listened to / read ... if i’d choose one book to listen to , it’s this one !

Truly an amazing book with amazing narration ! A true professional approach , and narrated it almost feels like a therapy session where the therapist explains what happens in your mind and emotions . Genuinely couldn’t get enough of it , breakthroughs happen every other chapter . I also love that the author encourages actually getting professional help that’s specific to the person but just shows you where the patterns are not good and gives exercises that help shift those . The exercises are not cheesy and very doable and they WORK ! I’m gonna give this book multiple listens after this first one .. highly encourage anxious people and people who have heavy internal lives to listen to this ! It’s The ONe book you need to listen to !

Wow

It’s very rare that I stumble across something as helpful as this. This really hit home for me. I will listen to this several more times to be sure I get everything from it and will be recommending to friends and family. A lot is packed into this and it’s explained in a very clear way. This resonated so much for me in all areas of my life and has made caused me to feel a lot less alone in my struggles and gives me hope that I can overcome these things after all. I am so impressed with this… don’t even have words to really describe how amazing it is. If you have any doubts, take this as a sign that you stumbled across it for a reason and it is very much worth a listen!

Most amazing book in the emotion regulation area

In 5 hours. the author explained various aspects in details how your emotion can be transformed using various analogies and factors.

Good content. Bad narration.

The content is good but the reader lacks intonation. She sounds like machine reading sometimes.

good book

I got some good information out of it. it was easy to listen to. it's short and yo the point.

Not many books I give 5 starts

It is coming with a lot of examples to help me understand emotions; Easy language.
