We’ve all been told that overthinking is bad — but is it always? In this episode of The 3AM Show, Raghav explores the fine line between destructive worry and thoughtful reflection. From the story of Ronald Wayne, who sold 10% of Apple for just $850, to a man who worried himself into an early grave, we uncover how our thoughts can either shape our success or sabotage our peace.

This episode is not about sympathy, but about value — how you can learn to control your mind before it controls you. We’ll talk about practical strategies to stop the spiral of overthinking, how to distinguish between reflection and fear, and how to live with clarity instead of anxiety.

If you’ve ever been awake at 3AM, replaying the past or fearing the future, this one’s for you.

How chronic worry destroyed the life of a man who lived “perfectly healthy”

Why overthinking doesn’t change the past or secure the future

A reminder that life is short — and peace is worth protecting
