Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking

Written by Jon Acuff

Narrated by Jon Acuff

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.
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.

Reviews for Soundtracks

[Sam Marie · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Wow…. I always knew I was a little odd when ever since being a child I would “narrate “ my life… jk I never knew it was odd until I was in college . NOW, however, I realize that little soundtrack in the back of my mind is, in fact, overthinking. Being an “optimistic self-reflecting go getter” is actually “being so self critical I can hardly allow myself to sit.” I recently left my corporate job and am focusing on my peace, my health, and a new house. I LOVE THIS BOOK. Thank you Jon. Excited for the workbook and even more books to come.

Definitely a book we all need to read. Whether this concept is brand new to you or a reminder of a concept you learned long ago. It will leave you better than before you read it. Not to mention, it's down right hilarious! My husband thought something was wrong, I was laughing so hard! 10/10 recommend!

Literal food for thought! This book is truly a game-changer for making your mindset take orders from you, instead of your circumstances. As always, Jon Acuff absolutely kills it with motivational words and funny, down-to-earth stories. This is my favorite book he has written!

This book offers some AMAZING tricks to combat overthinking!! I’ve already begun the process of retiring my broken soundtracks and it’s been so freeing!!! Looking forward to seeing the results from taking the 30 Affirmations Challenge!

Best book I've ever read/listened to. Jon's a great narrator; he should narrate every audiobook there is!
Really enjoyed it. I laughed at times and thought he was Professor X at others.
Loved it! Loved it!

Practical, digestable, and super funny!! I want a 50 cent coin from John Acuff!!

[Brent Haynes · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great read, would highly recommend to anyone who has been labeled or admitted to being an overthinker. Would recommend especially to teenagers and help them with changing their perspective they get older.

[Julie Overpeck · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I have listened to this 3 times, purchased a print copy, and gifted it. I always here something new, and Jon’s take on broken soundtracks has helped me identify and replace them in my life. Highly recommend!

[Steph Miramontes · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great easy read (listen) that is both entertaining and useful.

If you’ve read ‘Loving What Is’ by Byron Katie and ‘What To Say When You Talk To Yourself’ by Shad Helmstetter - you don’t have to read this book. It’s the same information. I’ve really enjoyed Acuff’s previous books but this I felt was an exact copy of those other books published long before this one and not as well written. I gave it 3 stars because if you haven’t read those other books, this is a shorter synopsis of both and could be helpful.

[Kris Frye · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

As usual, JA knocks it out of the park. Simple talk for simple action. Now to just get started!

[Sharie Peterson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Everyone needs this book. Spouses. Parents. Singles. Teens. Finally practical help and practices to change natural downward spiraling thought patterns that sabotage each day. And, of course, highly entertaining in Acuff’s uniquely comical delivery.

[Tiffany Franklin · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Jon Acuff is a master communicator. The content in this book is relatable and practical. His humor keeps you glued on the book. I’m sure people on the highway though i was crazy and i hysterically laughed while listening. Great job on this literature, Jon
