Shaurya Kapoor's "The Art of Not Overthinking" gives Sri Lankans a useful way to get out of the mental loops that so many people get stuck in in today's fast-paced environment. Kapoor talks about mindfulness techniques that are similar to the calmness seen in Sri Lankan Buddhist practices. He does this by combining traditional Sri Lankan practices with modern psychology findings. This helpful resource talks about the growing problem of worry and decision paralysis that is hurting professionals and students in Colombo, Kandy, and other places.
The book goes into detail on situations that many Sri Lankans may relate to when overthinking gets in the way of daily life, like career choices and relationship problems. Kapoor's three-step paradigm for mental clarity gives readers useful tips on how to tell the difference between helpful analysis and destructive rumination. Each chapter draws on traditional knowledge that fits with Sri Lanka's meditative heritage. It uses stories and examples from Sri Lankan life to make complicated psychological ideas easier to understand.
This book gives Sri Lankan readers a balanced way to make decisions that respects cultural norms while also encouraging personal progress. Kapoor's neuroscience-based methods for building mental strength are especially useful in Sri Lanka's competitive schools and workplaces, where overthinking can cause stress and make it harder to succeed.

"The mind that constantly overthinks is like a cup already full; nothing new can enter. Empty your cup first—this is where clarity begins."
