Reading Don’t Believe Everything You Think was a surprisingly liberating experience. Right from the start, Joseph Nguyen tells us that by the end of the book, we won’t be the same as before. In a way, that’s true of any new knowledge we absorb — every insight leaves a mark. But with this book, I genuinely do feel different.
Some of the author’s points surprised me, others even shocked me, and a few felt familiar. Taken together, though, the message is powerful and uplifting. This isn’t just a book you read once and set aside; it’s a book that invites practice — consistent, mindful effort — but nothing impossible for someone who’s willing to try.
Personally, I’m working on applying the author’s advice: thinking more positively, not just to “attract happiness,” but to cultivate a lighter, more hopeful mindset. I’m also trying to stop overthinking — which is much easier said than done, especially during a difficult period of life. Still, the perspective Nguyen shares is both comforting and motivating.
I won’t spoil the details of the lessons inside, because part of the impact comes from discovering them for yourself. But if you’re looking for a fresh way to approach challenges, to see situations from different angles, and to protect yourself from falling into negativity, this book can truly help.
Overall, Don’t Believe Everything You Think is an inspiring read — one that challenges your thoughts while offering tools to live with greater clarity, peace, and positivity.
