Why does stress feel harder to recover from after 40? Why are you gaining weight despite eating well and staying active? Does stress linger in your body long after the situation has passed? For many women, these changes aren't a failure of willpower.

Lara Maiklem has scoured the banks of the Thames for over 15 years, in pursuit of the objects that the river unearths: from Neolithic flints to Roman hair pins, medieval buckles to Tudor buttons, Georgian clay pipes to Victorian toys. These objects tell her about London and its lost ways of life. Moving from the river's tidal origins in the west of the city to the point where it meets the sea in the east, Mudlarking is a search for urban solitude and history on the River Thames, what Lara calls 'the longest archaeological site in the world'.

The fact is overthinking is not a productive use of your time, and it doesn’t lead to better outcomes. The opposite is true–overthinking reduces your chances of being successful and is blocking your path to living your best life.
