We finish off our two-parter on overthinking and take a deep dive into the emotions we’re ignoring when we retreat into rumination.

We explore:

• Whether complex emotions are the culprits luring us into overthinking
• Why “why” is a fraught question to ask ourselves when we’re feeling vulnerable
• How to get out of our heads and into our bodies with mindfulness-based inquiry
• And the challenge smart people face in stepping away from the intellectual into something more poetic and slippery
