Don't Believe Everything You Think

A nice read, Joseph Nguyen’s Don’t Believe Everything You Think is a refreshing and transformative guide to understanding the mind. Its core insight, “Thinking is the root cause of all suffering,” invites deeper awareness beyond habitual thoughts. My favorite line is, “Goals created by inspiration, not by desperation, is the real goal,” which beautifully captures the book’s empowering spirit. Nguyen blends simple psychology with practical wisdom, showing how overthinking fuels stress and how clarity emerges when we detach from mental noise. Concise, relatable, and actionable, it offers lasting guidance for personal growth, inner peace, and meaningful change—an impactful read for anyone seeking mental freedom.

Good book with deep insights..quick chapters and great for overthinking people

I picked up Don’t Believe Everything You Think hoping it would help with the kind of deep, overwhelming anxiety that I call the “red zone.” In my personal scale, the green zone is normal life stress, the yellow zone is manageable anxiety that improves with positive effort, and the red zone is where thoughts feel uncontrollable and everything feels heavy. For someone like me currently in the red zone, this book offered some help, but not as much as I expected. The author repeatedly emphasizes one main idea: you are responsible for how you think, and you can stop negative thoughts by identifying a reason and shifting your focus. While this may work for people in the green or yellow zones, it starts to feel repetitive if you’re already overwhelmed and trying everything—from medication to meditation. There are a few story-based paragraphs that were okay but not very inspiring or deeply impactful. So far, I have read about 107 pages (12 chapters), and the message keeps repeating without offering deeper tools for someone who is struggling intensely. Overall, I would rate this book 3 out of 5. It may help readers with mild to moderate anxiety, but for those dealing with severe or “red-zone” levels, it might feel too repetitive and not practical enough.

This books explain the difference between thought and thinking. It beautifully explain how we can connect with our inner world, connect with our intuition and inner world and be always happy and joy state.

I have read my self help and spiritual books but this book has definitely been one of the best books I have read. I haven't put it down. So much wisdom that seems simple but I am sure the majority of people don't do including myself. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for transformation. I'm already feel physically and mentally lighter just reading and applying what I learned over the last three days. I can't wait to see what's I'm store for myself with this new knowledge Amazing book and I don't think anyone would ever regret reading this book.

Interesting idea explaining where our suffering gets the roots from.

This book gives you the answer to a new life , it will seem so simple, too simple in fact ! It is changing my life with every thought I let go of!!!

Amazing read, my top 3 in the self help and spirituality books. Super easy to read it’s a must !

Before i’d read this book i was in my root of suffering then I figured it out what my thinking could do with me and I’d been searching to a book that can wake me up, and found this book that changed my way of thinking. Thank you Joseph Nguyen.
