“I, too, can’t stop thinking, and I’m a meditation teacher who’s been meditating daily for over forty-five years! But not to worry. In Can’t Stop Thinking, Nancy Colier helps us clearly understand how to loosen the tight grip of mental grasping and fixation which brings so much stress. She shares the secret of inner freedom and self-mastery to be able to do what’s good for us without self-imposed limitations.”

“What would life be like if we could recover from our addiction to thinking? We’ve reached the limit of stress and confusion by believing ‘I think, therefore I am.’ Nancy Colier helps us take one of the most important steps in life, to realize ‘I am not my thoughts.’ This is not ‘stop thinking,’ but ways to break the addictive habit of ‘picking up the first think.’ What a gift!”

“Rather than fighting with our thoughts, Nancy Colier teaches us to step back from them into a more calm, aware, and nonjudgmental witness space. From this space the thoughts lose some of their hold on us, and we can discover who we really are. Colier’s methods are a stand-alone approach to thinking, but also a wonderful complement to other psychological and spiritual practices, including meditation and mindfulness.”
