{ "item_title" : "The 3 A.M. Mind", "item_author" : [" Sage Soul "], "item_description" : "It is 3:14 in the morning and you have just lost an argument you had at lunch.You know the hour. The ceiling, the clock, and a mind that has chosen this moment to replay what you said, forecast what could go wrong, and total up every year you think you wasted. You are not in crisis. You are simply awake, and tired, and thinking.The 3 A.M. Mind is a book for that hour. It is organized not by technique but by the thought that woke you: I said the wrong thing.I've wasted years.What if it's serious?They're disappointed in me.They'll find out I'm a fraud.What is the point of any of it?Find your thought in the contents. Read a short chapter, about five minutes, in bed. Each ends with one sentence to say back to your own head, so that you can put the light out.Inside you will find: 28 short chapters, one for each of the thoughts that most often keep people awakePlain-language psychology on why the mind turns on you at night, including hindsight, rumination, the spotlight effect, and sleep effortThe ancient voices that have been answering these thoughts for two thousand years: Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and SenecaThe Daylight Docket, a five-step routine that takes under two minutesA full chapter on when the thoughts do not stop, and when to ask a doctor or counselor for helpA page of every sentence gathered at the back, so you can find one in the darkThis is not a list of twenty-three techniques, and it is not one idea stretched over a book. It is a companion for the hour and the voice, written for the reader who is too tired for a philosophy course and not in need of a clinic.The 3 A.M. Mind is philosophy, not treatment. It does not diagnose, and it says plainly when a book is no longer the right tool.Keep it by the bed. Read one page. Say one sentence. Let the morning answer.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/212/9798162121848_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "12.99", "online_price" : "12.99", "our_price" : "12.99", "club_price" : "12.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
