We think if we just gather enough information, we’ll make the perfect decision, but overthinking often gets worse the more we know.
In the March 17th episode of Being Well, Dr. Rick Hanson and I explore why more information isn’t always better—and how to know when it’s time to act.
The episode is titled How to Stop Overthinking: Rumination, OCD, and Breaking the Awareness Trap, and you can watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=ksKIJu7kcYw&t=2s
