I apologize for taking so long, but it seemed too good to be true.

This secret moved me to Nashville.

It helped me hit the New York Times bestseller list.

It sent me around the world.

Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's the sneakiest form of fear.

It steals time, creativity, and goals. It's the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it's an epidemic.

In Soundtracks, New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff offers a proven plan to change overthinking from a super problem into a superpower with three simple steps:

? retire your broken soundtracks
? replace them with new ones
? repeat them until they're as automatic as the old ones
