How to Stop Overthinking review
A $17.99 ebook on calming racing thoughts, credited to a third doctor of the Psychology of Inner Peace.
Pass
Rumination responds to mindfulness and cognitive techniques, so the approach is reasonable. Persistent overthinking can also be part of anxiety or depression, and the listing does not say when to seek help. The co-author, Dr. Gloria Donald, is the third doctor of the invented Psychology of Inner Peace in this batch and one of four co-authors surnamed Donald.

Mindfulness and letting go
The listing combines mindfulness with work on perfectionism.
Those techniques have support.
Third doctor of Inner Peace
The same invented field appears on two other titles in this batch.
And the surname Donald on three other co-authors.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Gloria Donald with a PhD in the Psychology of Inner Peace and 31 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: 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 354000+ 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.
