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. When New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, "Yes!"
The good news is that in Soundtracks, Acuff offers a proven plan to change overthinking from a super problem into a superpower.
When we don't control our thoughts, our thoughts control us. If our days are full of broken soundtracks, thoughts are our worst enemy, holding us back from the things we really want. But the solution to overthinking isn't to stop thinking. The solution is running our brains with better soundtracks. Once we learn how to choose our soundtracks, thoughts become our best friend, propelling us toward our goals.
If you want to tap into the surprising power of overthinking and give your dreams more time and creativity, learn how to DJ the soundtracks that define you. If you can worry, you can wonder. If you can doubt, you can dominate. If you can spin, you can soar.
When Jon Acuff's book Soundtracks, came out, one reaction surprised
him. Parents across the country all said the same thing: "Do you
have a version for teenagers? If I knew how to change my mindset
when I was that age, my entire life would have been different." Why
did they say that? Because truth grows like compound interest.
Saving money when you're young has a bigger impact than it does
when you save in your 40s. A single new soundtrack--Acuff's phrase
for a repetitive thought--believed when you're 14 or 18 can change
your whole life in the same way. In response, Acuff tagged his two
daughters to help him create an honest, actionable guide to mindset
for teenagers. Your thoughts can work for you or against you, but
the good news is you get a choice. The even better news is when
you're young, your entire world is made of new. You're a movie
that's barely started, a notebook with blank pages to fill, a song
that hasn't hit the chorus. You have your whole life ahead of you.
When you learn to create new thoughts, those thoughts lead to
actions, and those actions lead to new results. Are you ready to
tap into the superpower of mindset? Just hit play.

Move beyond Coping and Surviving to a Rejuvenating Place of Soul
Rest
How many of us find ourselves exhausted, running on empty with no
time for rest, no time for ourselves, no time for God? Bonnie Gray
knows exactly what that's like. On the brink of fulfilling a
lifelong dream, Bonnie's plans suddenly went off script. Her life
shattered into a debilitating journey through anxiety, panic
attacks, and insomnia. But as she struggled to make sense of it
all, she made an important discovery: we all need "spiritual
whitespace."
Spiritual whitespace makes room--room in one's heart for a deep
relationship with God, room in one's life for rest, room in one's
soul for rejuvenation. With soul-stirring vulnerability and
heartbreaking honesty, Bonnie takes readers on a personal journey
to feed their souls and uncover the deeper story of rest. Lyrical
writing draws readers into Gray's intimate journey through
overwhelming stress to find God in a broken story and celebrate the
beauty of faith.
Guided by biblical encouragement and thought-provoking prompts,
Gray shows readers how to create space in the everyday for God,
refreshment, and faith. She also offers practical steps and
insights for making spiritual whitespace a reality, right in the
midst of the stress-frayed stories in every season of life.
"We live in a culture that brags and boasts about being busy. Into
that reality steps Bonnie with a new idea. Whitespace is an
important concept and Bonnie has captured it perfectly. If you're
exhausted with being exhausted, read this book. If you feel too
busy to read this book, then that's probably the best sign of all
that you need it."--from the foreword by Jon Acuff, "New York
Times" bestselling author of "Stuff Christians Like"
