Quiet the Loop

About this book

Rumination is not the same as thinking something through. One of them reaches a conclusion; the other goes round.

This book is about telling them apart, and about what actually interrupts the second one.

What you will learn

• Spot the difference between problem-solving and looping
• Interrupt a loop without pretending it is not there
• Use writing to finish a thought instead of feeding it
• Handle the three in the morning version
• Know which loops point at something that needs changing
