From the author of Women Who Think Too Much, a
groundbreaking book that uncovers a hidden source of
depression in women today
Depression is a common and debilitating problem among
women, though it
rarely occurs in a vaccum. As Susan Nolen-Hoeksema’s
original research
shows, overthinking—a tendency to ruminate on problems
rather than to
seek solutions—often co-exists with unhealthy eating habits
and/or
heavy drinking. In fact, 80 percent of women who report
suffering from
one of those also suffer from another. This groundbreaking
book,
written in a vivid narrative style that captures the
complexities of
women’s lives today, explains how the three core problems
of the Toxic
Triangle reinforce one another, wreaking havoc on women’s
emotional
well-being, physical health, relationships, and
careers.
Escape is possible, Nolen-Hoeksema assures us, for those
who are
already aware that they suffer from a serious problem as
well as for
the hundreds of thousands of others who have not yet
examined the role
that bingeing and purging—on negative thoughts, food, or
alcohol—plays
in their lives. Nolen-Hoeksema shows women how to harness
their
emotional and interpersonal strengths to overcome the
stress caused by
a destructive relationship with food, alcohol, and
overthinking so that
they can fashion effective, healthier strategies for living
the life
they deserve.
