Don't Believe Everything You Think (Expanded Edition): Why Your Thinking Is The Beginning & End Of Suffering (Graduation Gift) (Books By Joseph Nguyen)

I won’t put all my private business out there for just anyone to read, but I will say that recently I’ve made some huge life changing mistakes, similar to my father before me. I got caught up in the “keeping up with the jones” tradition and I let it consume me entirely until I wasn’t myself anymore, alcohol had taken over. I began blaming others for why I was the way I was and didn’t hold myself accountable, it was always because it was happening because of someone else, and that it was happening to me, not for me. After my mistakes I decided it was time to make a change before I did something irreversible, I began to be somewhat selfish and listen to myself for a change and do what I needed to do to get better. I quit drinking, I quit smoking, I quit dipping snuff, I began working out, I began resting, I held myself accountable, I quit forcing relationships and I began to destroy the boy I was before all this insight. That boy lingers deep within me, but now I have the power to hold him there to where he is almost nothing. I’m 6 months into this change and this book came along around 2 months in. “Don’t Believe Everything You Think” is truly and testament to my life now, I reference back to it often, I’m excited to look at it each time. The book has truly helped me, I’m realizing everything isn’t a battle, that things do come easy if I allow it, I don’t have to struggle and fight, just let things be and go with the flow. I’m not a perfect practitioner by any means but the book has sure helped me look at life differently. 10/10 must read for me. Thank you Joseph Nguyen, I definitely feel less alone and more free after your book.

I’m not much of a reader but I’m so glad I found this book. I just finished reading it and it changed my whole life style and yes, it might seem like I’m exaggerating but trust me when I say this, I’m not. The way the book took me places I hadn’t even imagined before was amazing and that’s not even close to being the best part of full of joy and excitement I am after finishing it, is. This book definitely gave me a life lesson I’m gonna keep for life.

I found this book during this whole self-discovery phase I currently going through and I’m SO happy I did because man, it’s like the final puzzle piece to allow myself to start living how I want to live. I believe that things happen for a reason, and when I skipped this ad on Instagram, I felt compelled to go back and find out what it’s all about. With this on top of the CRAZY amount of signs from the universe (parallels, consistencies, insane coincidences) I really do feel that this is a pivotal moment in my life and this book has expedited the journey. It’s allowed me to start being myself, especially around the person I’m currently getting to know has I KNOW she is my soulmate. I’m so happy I found this book and I’ve already started to share the word. I will make sure to mention that this book could be meant for you in a different period of your life if you’re not currently seeking for an answer, but it’s damn sure is a good book it have around, reread again and again and I will so I can finally reach the peace meant for me. Thank you Joseph Nguyen from the bottom of my heart <3

Error in Chapter 12, author states "The actual truth is not subjective." At the end of the paragraph, author states ". . . the only place you can find this is deep within your being , so don't try to look for it outside of you." This would indicate that the actual truth IS subjective. Very good book, gently leading reader into conscious awareness of one's own thinking trails and how to redirect it. Thank you.

I have walk on my journey for over thirty years and have been helped along the way by many different types of books cd and meetings however this book is truly one that has taught me things about myself i did not realize such as i do well with change however the unknown is difficult for me i am open to many different thoughts however i never realized how much i think about a lot of them i always choose simplicity and now realize that is a good choice for me and no need to apologize for it. I am so. Appreciate for this amazing book i have purchased itt for some of my friends hopefully they will receive some inspiration from it as i have namaste maureen

Not much of a reader, but I wanted to get rid of some anxiety and depression, and this book has helped tremendously. I wrote sticky notes of quotes that really stuck with me and advice given to me from this book so I could read them every day and I feel a lot more mental clarity. I think it’s hard for us overthinkers in a world with such chaos and this book brought me back to reality and gave me some peace.

When I purchased this book, I was surprised to see how small and short it was. I thought how could this short of a book change the way I’m currently feeling. However I trusted it and read through it carefully and full heartedly. I can honestly say Joseph gets the point across quite well. This was a great read and he has a great mind on how to go about living. I’d recommend this to anyone stuck in their head. Also to any type of “why me” person. It allows you to think in a more positive way. Although many of the points are general ways to go about life, it allows you to really dive in and allow that inner voice to take control.

This book was so meaningful to me. I’m not a self-help book reader, I mainly read fiction, but am so glad I took the time to sit down and read this amazingly insightful book!! Wow, it has helped me. My own worst enemy is over thinking. I’m sure that is true for many of us. For me, it was about taking the most basic concepts, that we already know and applying them to my everyday life. Joseph is great at “effortlessly” teaching us to understand the difference between thoughts and thinking! I can’t recommend this book enough!!
