We are all familiar with the unsettling sensation of overwhelm: it's as if there's ever more to do, and ever less time in which to do it.
Claudia Hammond, award-winning writer and presenter of BBC Radio 4's All in the Mind, shows us that there is a way out, helping us to take the pressure off with a psychological toolkit that is both practical and evidence-based.
Each chapter addresses a particular problem that can trap us into feeling overwhelmed - from procrastination to the fear of regret, imposter syndrome, perfectionism and a seemingly never-ending to-do list - and offers science-backed solutions.

Her winning blend of science, empathy and humour offers the ideal cure for overwhelm" -- DANIEL H. PINK, #1 New York Times bestselling author of DRIVE, WHEN and THE POWER OF REGRET
