Self-Help & Personal Development review
From Overthinking to Inner Peace review
A $17.99 ebook on quieting racing thoughts, sold with a fabricated doctorate in the psychology of inner peace.
Pass
Shifting negative thought patterns is the core of cognitive behavioural therapy, which is the best-evidenced psychological treatment there is, and self-help versions of it genuinely help some people with mild symptoms. That makes the subject reasonable. The delivery does not match it: no exercises are shown, nothing is cited, no therapist is named, and the credited doctor holds a PhD in the Psychology of Inner Peace, a degree that does not exist and which appears twice more in this catalogue under other names. Free CBT self-help workbooks from health services are structured, tested and cost nothing.

CBT ideas without the framework
Racing thoughts, mindfulness, thought patterns, daily routines and balance.
Thought-pattern work is the core of cognitive behavioural therapy.
The free versions are better built
Public health services publish structured CBT self-help workbooks with exercises and progress measures.
They are free, and the techniques in them have been tested as delivered.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Judith Donald with a PhD in the Psychology of Inner Peace and 27 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 350700+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.

From Overthinking to Inner Peace FAQ
Is this CBT?
It borrows the idea of changing thought patterns without the framework or exercises.
Is it a treatment?
No; for persistent rumination with low mood, see a clinician.
How much does it cost?
$17.99 as a one-time payment, with no sales tax added for a US address.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, the order form shows a 60-day money-back window.
Who wrote it?
The listing credits Hina Sarwar, with Dr. Judith Donald as co-author. Neither has a verifiable profile, and the doctorate given is not a real academic field.
The bottom line
Shifting negative thought patterns is the core of cognitive behavioural therapy, which is the best-evidenced psychological treatment there is, and self-help versions of it genuinely help some people with mild symptoms. That makes the subject reasonable. The delivery does not match it: no exercises are shown, nothing is cited, no therapist is named, and the credited doctor holds a PhD in the Psychology of Inner Peace, a degree that does not exist and which appears twice more in this catalogue under other names.
