The book presents thing you can do that can make an immediate difference and will result in freeing up energies consumed by overthinking.  Her approaches are practical based on her own life experiences.

Quotes by Anne Bogel

“A good book, when we return to it, will always have something new to say. It's not the same book, and we're not the same reader”

“People read for a multiplicity of reasons. Nearly forty years in, I can tell you why I inhale books like oxygen: I'm grateful for my one life, but I'd prefer to live a thousand --and my favorite books allow me to experience more on the page than I ever could in my actual life.”

”When we share our favorite titles, we can't help but share ourselves as well. Shakespeare said the eyes are the windows to the soul, but we readers know one's bookshelves reveal just as much.”

“We can’t know what a book will mean to us until we read it. And so we take a leap and choose.”

“You’re sad because whatever you read next can’t possibly be as good as the book you just finished. You despair because nothing you read can possibly be as good, ever again.”
