Thoughts: Tend to be unbiased and immediate often a natural reaction, similar to basic instincts. Thinking: The act of taking our thoughts, and making them things they aren't, by using our bias and experience to disect the thought.

Thoughts vs Thinking

The book portrays thinking as a solely negative activity. It goes as far to say that you can never think yourself into happiness.

Thinking is Always Negative

When we think we hesitate. If we dive too deep in our thoughts, there's no way we pursue things well. Often when our thoughts occur we should pursue them, as they tend to be unbiased and an observation of truth.

Benefit of Action

The book overall is really trying to emphasize the difference of thoughts and thinking. To me it truly seemed like thoughts are what I had always considered instincts and reshaping the identity of that might be beneficial. My thoughts are a natural unbiased idea, based on simply the facts around me. My thinking is a warped idea of my thought (or truth). Thinking is the root of all negativity.
