Summary
In Detox Your Thoughts, popular psychologist Andrea Bonior, PhD, identifies the 12 most prevalent thought patterns that make people feel anxious, insecure, and generally just bad.
To overcome the most common mental traps, you must completely change the way you relate to your thoughts.
If breaking free of negative thought patterns could be cured through simply thinking positively or doubling down on our self-care, we wouldn't see such epidemic rates of depression and anxiety disorders worldwide. Bonior deciphers the psychological research to help us disempower our self-sabotaging thoughts, and teaches specific and actionable ways to overcome them in a transformational listen.
- Dr. Andrea Bonior is a popular psychologist and contributor to BuzzFeed and the Washington Post.
- Inspired by her popular BuzzFeed challenge Detox Your Thoughts, Bonior identifies 12 mental traps that keep us locked in negative thinking.
- The book explores a surprising path to break free of these harmful thoughts.
With bite-sized pop psychology takes on the thought patterns that plague most people and a practical approach to quitting negative self-talk for good, Detox Your Thoughts is a transformational read.
Dr. Bonior's mental health advice column, "Baggage Check", has appeared for 14 years in the Washington Post and several other newspapers nationwide.
- Perfect for readers of the Washington Post's "Baggage Check" column, Goodful's Detox Your Thoughts, Psychology Today, and The Cut's "Science of Us".
- Also a good fit for those who love pop psychology, self-help books, and any books related to motivation or happiness.
- Fans of Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World by Max Lucado, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do by Amy Morin, and Dare: The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks by Barry McDonagh will want this in their collection.

A good place to start. Does exactly what it says!
Narration was clear and engaging. The narrator is the author which makes the intonation and explanations incredibly clear. (Other similar audio books I listened to have a different narrator which has, in my experience, meant that some of the key points have not been emphasised in the way they were intended.)
Subject matter and knowledge was good and backed up by research and/or experience.
If you're looking for ways to help stop your own negative self talk and negative thoughts then this book certainly delivers this. It helps you to understand your thoughts and deal with them in a more positive way. It also helped me understand the thought a behaviour patterns of others too. This is a good book to start with if you're looking for some help. The content is reassuringly delivered with some real-life examples and stories which I found made it really relatable.
A couple of oddly placed swear words - I can be as sweary as the next person (and thoroughly enjoyed Gavin Oates's book which was sweary all the way through and was just his natural way) but weirdly this had the phrase "I call bull****..." very early on, plus a few others along the way which sounded unnatural from the author-narrator. It is okay to NOT swear, especially when it sounds a bit awkward.
Also, I was a bit disappointed by the (ironically) negative labels given. An example "Social Anxiety Disorder". Social Anxiety is real, I get that. But learning to embrace our Neuro-diverse ways is perhaps better than being labelled as a disorder. But that might just be me - I feel the same about 'ADHD' and 'learning difficulty' here in the UK.
