Overstimulated

You’re not imagining it. Modern life is noisier, faster and more demanding than ever. In today’s hyper-connected world, our nervous systems are bombarded by constant sensory and mental overload, leaving us restless, distracted and disconnected.

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, Overstimulated reveals how constant stimulation doesn’t just fray our nerves, it hijacks our attention, erodes creativity and even robs us of the quiet moments that are essential for self reflection and insight.

Told with her trademark wit and personal stories alongside the latest research and practical strategies, clinical psychologist and best selling author, Dr Anastasia Hronis, will teach you how to:
- embrace stillness and rediscover the value of boredom
- manage your attention and your mind’s natural capacity for insight
- foster deeper, more meaningful relationships
- reclaim your sense of Self in an age of endless distraction.

Eye-opening, reassuring and practical, Overstimulated explores how our lives became so overloaded and what this is doing to our brains, bodies and relationships, while also shining a light on how children are being affected by growing up in an increasingly fast-paced world.

This is not a book about escaping the world. Instead, Dr Hronis provides a roadmap to help us navigate the noise and make space for what matters, so we feel more present, purposeful and connected to ourselves and the world around us.
