Rachel B: On his podcast, Jon often asks his guests what book they give away most to others. THIS is that book for me! Soundtracks is easily the best book I've read on mindset, and it's one of the few books I've really enjoyed on audiobook, too. There's no fluff here. Jon provides humerous and relatable stories, and you'll walk away with actionable steps to improve your mindset and overall quality of life. This is one I will continue to recommend and give to friends!!!

Heena Parekh: Apart from the quality of the book, the content as well as the humour of the book is jaw-dropping. Soundtracks by Jon Acuff is so 'light and easy' to read and imbibe that as you flip the pages over in excitement you realize you've reached the finished line effortlessly. Definitely a great book to start with for new readers.
If anyone here needs a definition of a soundtrack, a soundtrack is a repetitive thought that influences our life. It's like a belief.

suryansh w.: I recommend this book to all those overthinkers who couldn't live a day with overthinking. This book will help you to really rip out the roots of overthink that is planted in your brain.

Alexandra Graßler: Einzelne Gedanken wieder und wieder im Kopf zu haben, die berühmte kaputte Schallplatte, kann einen ganz schön zermürben.

Dieses over thinking ist gar nicht so leicht in den Griff zu kriegen.

Der Autor Jon Acuff hat mit seinem Buch Soundtracks eine erstaunlich simple Lösung beschrieben mit der man diesen sich wiederholenden Gedankensalat tatsächlich gut in den Griff bekommen.

Seine Art zu schreiben ist zudem auch sehr witzig, so dass man immer wieder schmunzeln muss was bei der Schwere des Themas wirklich hilft.

Er hat auch begleitend viele wissenschaftlich gestützte Studien machen lassen, was das Ganze sehr seriös und nachvollziehbar macht.

Es ist ein ungemein praktisches Buch, aus dem ich sehr sehr viel für mich mitgenommen habe.

Jeder der sich schon mal ansatzweise mit dem Thema Affirmationen beschäftigt hat, findet hier zudem eine großartige, wissenschaftlich gestützte Grundlage, wie sich damit tatsächlich arbeiten lässt. Auf eine Art und Weise die uns im Leben vorwärts bringt.

Unterstützend zu denken, lässt sich lernen und tut ungemein gut.

If I drank a cup of coffee for every time I heard a friend say, "You're overthinking it," I'd be extremely sleep deprived and shaking uncontrollably. So I could barely contain my excitement when Jon first announced a few years ago that he was "researching overthinking" for his new book. I wondered; "How long will it take Jon to write the book? Will he come to Lancaster to promote it like he did with Do Over? Would he think it's weird to meet him a third time? Could I successfully engage in the trademarked side-hug without the awkward waist wraparound I did last time? Will there be a course? A speaking tour?" Do you see why I needed this book in my life?

So when I had the opportunity to be part of the launch team and a few pre-launch courses, I eagerly signed up for everything. But this was not a typical launch because this is not your typical self-help book. No, it's far more than that. Along with a team of researchers and a plethora of feedback, Jon has essentially cracked the overthinking code. In fact, he's rewritten the code by showing us how to rewrite our Soundtracks!

While I have loved Jon Acuff’s work since his early...

G Heddy: “Overthinking is when what you think gets in the way of what you want.”

Hmmm. I do that. I thought everyone did that.

I was right.

I thought it was just how my brain worked. There's nothing I can do to change.

I was wrong.

Jon Acuff has done it again. His book, Do Over, helped me find a new job in the career I had been out of for 15 years, and to continue to grow in that new/old career.

His book, Finish, has been helping me, a chronic goal setter and starter, to reach the finish line in several of the goals I have had for years.

His new book, Soundtracks, is teaching me how to flip the negative thoughts that run behind everything I do into positive thoughts that encourage me to move forward.

I have always thought positive affirmations were silly, goofy and, let's face it, just plain dumb because my brain refused to accept positive statements about myself that it “knew perfectly well” were not true.

My brain is a jerk.

So is everyone's brain.

But they don't have to be!

Jon Acuff uses humor, science, research projects, and personal stories of his own, as well as hundreds of others, to prove...
