All of us are familiar with the unsettling sensation of overwhelm: it's as if there's ever more to do, and ever less time in which to do it. The good news is, even if you can't see it yet, there is a way out.

In this liberating new book, award-winning writer and presenter of BBC Radio 4's All in the Mind Claudia Hammond helps us to take the pressure off with a psychological toolkit that is both practical and evidence-based.

Each chapter addresses a particular problem that can trap us into feeling overwhelmed - from procrastination to the fear of regret, imposter syndrome, perfectionism and a seemingly never-ending to-do list - and offers science-backed solutions.

Calm, clear and convincing, Overwhelmed will give you the tools to take on everything life throws at you.
