Synopsis

"You will benefit from Joanna's knowledge and expertise." -Jon Abramowitz, PhD Professor of Psychology at UNC, Chapel Hill, and author of Getting Over OCD
"One of the best self help books for women I've read." -Elizabeth L.
"If you want to stop overthinking and feeling anxious or nervous all the time, this book is for you." -Erin P.

Is there a space between where you are and where you want to be? Do you resist uncomfortable or overwhelming situations, telling yourself you just need more motivation or discipline? Do you feel fired up by every self-growth podcast one minute, only to find yourself binge-watching "Real Housewives" the next, having slayed nothing other than the snack cabinet?

You want to do things differently, but something keeps getting in your way. Maybe you overthink. Maybe your anxiety spikes when things start to feel “too much.” Maybe you’re just tired of trying so hard to fix yourself.

The solution? Just do nothing.

In this humorous, science-backed guide to personal growth and emotional wellness, therapist Joanna Hardis, LISW-S—an anxiety and OCD specialist for more than 30 years—shares the practical, research-based tools she’s used with hundreds of clients to help them stop overthinking, face discomfort, and live with more ease.

You’ll discover how to:

• Understand and regulate your emotions so you can feel grounded in everyday life
• Break through mental barriers and build genuine, lasting resilience
• Create your own “sliding scale of distress” to increase your tolerance for discomfort
• Let feelings be instead of letting them go—and watch how much lighter you feel as a result

Just Do Nothing is a ground breaking self help book for women that offers a refreshing take on modern mental health and personal development. For both women and men who crave real change—not another motivational pep talk—this funny, compassionate book delivers the tools to calm your mind, trust yourself, and handle life with more confidence.

As counterintuitive as it may sound, when you learn how to just do nothing with the chaos in your head, your life starts to expand. Before you know it, you’ll be showing up with calm, clarity, and self-trust for experiences that once had you running for that snack cabinet.
