I think too much
How to channel this overwhelming mind
Who would have thought that being intelligent could cause suffering and unhappiness? Yet, I often receive people in consultation who complain about overthinking. They say that their mind never gives them a break, even at night. They're tired of these doubts, these questions, this acute awareness of things, their heightened senses that don't miss any detail. They would like to disconnect their mind, but they mainly suffer from feeling different, misunderstood, and hurt by the world today. They often conclude with: "I'm not from this planet!" This book offers lessons in mechanics and piloting for these overactive brains.

- Mental overexcitability is characterized by heightened sensitivity, developed sensory channels, and the ability to capture more information with exceptional sharpness. Overexcitables are often overwhelmed by available sensory information and may experience hyperesthesia in different sensory domains.
- The overachievers have a dominance of the right hemisphere of the brain, which gives them a different way of processing information compared to the majority of the population that favors the left hemisphere. Their thinking is often creative and branching, which can be confusing for others.
