Club Literati recently organized the launch and discussion of “Overthinking Se Azadi – Win the Battle of Your Mind”, a thought-provoking book written by Dr. Satyakant Trivedi, a senior psychiatrist and Psychological Analyst. This insightful work delves deep into the issue of overthinking, a widespread problem affecting both children and adults, and explores its profound impact on various aspects of life.
In an engaging conversation with Prof. Vinay Mishra, Dr. Trivedi elaborated on how overthinking adversely affects the human brain, physical health, emotional well-being, personal relationships, and professional life. He emphasized that overthinking can lead to significant challenges, particularly for individuals dealing with insecurities, societal pressures, or serious medical conditions like addiction.
Dr. Trivedi highlighted the mental health crises that surged during the Covid-19 pandemic, stressing the urgent need to address overthinking through open family discussions and professional counseling. He also reflected on how societal attitudes often downplay overthinking, resulting in delayed recognition and action.
Dr. Trivedi shared that this book is an extension of his professional responsibility to help individuals overcome the challenges of overthinking. He aims to reach every household in the country with this book, which will soon be available in eight different languages to ensure its accessibility to a wider audience.
The book serves as a practical guide for readers, offering tools to distinguish between productive thinking and harmful overthinking. It includes strategies to combat this habit, ranging from cognitive techniques to lifestyle changes.
Furthermore, Dr. Trivedi underscored the importance of spirituality, meditation, and religious practices in achieving mental peace and clarity. With relatable examples and actionable advice, the book empowers readers to reclaim control over their minds and lead a more fulfilling life.
