Reviewed By Carmen Tenorio for Readers' Favorite: Think, Rethink, Panic by Joshua Ericson is a funny, honest, and emotionally sharp look inside the mind of an overthinker. It doesn’t follow a traditional format—instead, it’s a series of real-life moments and inner monologues about everything from therapy and texting to relationships and work. Ericson takes readers along for the ride as he tries to make sense of life while juggling anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Bipolar Personality Disorder (BPD). Each chapter homes in on a situation that feels all too familiar, breaking it down with humor, honesty, and a good dose of self-deprecating wit. This isn’t a book about fixing mental health struggles. It’s more about figuring out how to live with them, laugh at them, and maybe even learn from them. Sometimes, surviving with your sense of humor intact is enough. The book feels like a chaotic but comforting conversation with someone who gets it—someone who thinks too much, feels too deeply, and is always slightly overwhelmed. Joshua Ericson’s voice in Think, Rethink, Panic is casual and raw—he’s not trying to impress anyone, just telling it like it is. His writing is funny but doesn’t shy away from tough truths. He’ll hit you with a joke, then suddenly land a gut-punch of emotional clarity. He doesn’t try to escape the hard stuff; he makes space for it. Using satire and a bit of exaggeration, he turns his inner chaos into something you can laugh at and maybe relate to a little too much. He often writes in the second person, making you feel like he’s talking directly to you, dragging you into his whirlwind of thoughts, doubts, and spirals. The pacing is quick, jumping from one thought to the next, but it works—it mirrors the mental overload that comes with anxiety and overthinking. There’s a real sense of movement, driven by his mind constantly buzzing with questions, worries, and side comments. And while there’s no dramatic “aha” moment, there’s growth. Ericson becomes more self-aware as the book goes on, showing how acceptance and vulnerability can actually come out of chaos. Themes like identity, connection, emotional burnout, and the need for validation run throughout. This book is perfect for anyone who’s ever felt stuck in their own head, anxious in social situations, or just plain tired of pretending they’ve got it all together. It’s comforting, hilarious, and, above all, real.
