How is it possible not to think too much?

The question was asked first on LinkedIn where other answers can be found. My answer was:

“Excellent question. It is possible to think too much, meaning we live in our heads too much, in front of these computer screens for example. When we dance, play a sport, go for a long walk, we gradually no longer think too much.

Consider "Zorba the Greek," the classic movie with Anthony Quinn as Zorba. A few of his memorable lines:

"You think too much."

"Life is trouble, only death is not."

"Dammit, boss, I like you too much not to say it. You've got everything except one thing. Madness! A man needs a little madness, or else...he never dares cut the rope and be free..."

Take a break Letizia. Sleep enough to dream. Then you'll know the difference.”

What do you think?
