highly recommended
A good explanation of how we drive ourselves nuts.
Yes, it has been said before, by various awakened sages, especially the Buddhists; and several modern Buddhists authors have also said it very well (Pema Chodron, Joko Beck, Jack Kornfield--"After the Ecstasy, the Laundry").
Even so, I enjoyed hearing the practical message again (Be willing to feel what you feel when you feel it, with
out avoidance
or clinging). The explanations in the book are helpful and the exercises are useful.
I can recommend this book to anyone who has struggled to make unwanted feelings go away. It's a huge relief to lay down
your weapons
and walk away from the battlefield.

I'm free
I've been in and
out
of
therapy
for over thirty years,and have read at least fifteen self help books. Basicly I was told, kill the negative self talk,say positve affirmations and one therapist said, "just snap out of it."
I constantly battled with my self. I also suffer from anxiety attacks. I've work for 20 years for a very large orginazation with a few thousand employees. Once it became obvious that I was suffering from anxiety and self esteem issues, I became the subject of the rumor mill. I really don't know how I lasted so long.
But this book changed everything. I've learned to seperate myself from my thoughts and feelings, accept them, and then move on to live the
life that
I want. I realize now that my life will never be pain free, but in spite of that pain I can live the life I want. I don't have to battle my painful thoughts any more. They don't last as long, hurt as much, or stop me from doing my thing.
This book is not for everybody, but neither is any religion or spouse. But I can bear witness that it has changed my life for the better.

GET IT
This book is torterous and will revolutionize
your
life
. Not a typical self-help book, but the mother of all mothers. My doctor uses it in group
therapy
. The author seems to have a a kind and humorous nature.
If you have anxiety or depression, GET THIS BOOK NOW...
A truly magnificent work. Unlike many of the traditional Mc
Therapy books
that I wasted my money on, this book actually worked. It has transformed my
life
in ways that I cannot even begin to appreciate.
Free Your Mind
If you are looking for a fresh start- I would recommend the practices in this book. I would also recommend books by ANTHONY STULTZ and EZRA BAYDA for the foundations of this wonderful
new approach
to freedom from unhealthy thoughts and feelings.

Acceptance
and
Commitment
Therapy
(ACT) is a
new approach
to psychotherapy that rethinks even our most basic assumptions of mental well-being. Starting with the assumption that the normal condition of human existence is suffering and struggle, ACT works by first encouraging individuals to accept their lives as they are in the here and now. This acceptance is an antidote to the problem of avoidance, which ACT views as among the greatest risk factors for unnecessary suffering and poor mental health. The process of ACT includes help for individuals to identify a set of core values, a personal set of objectives that matter to them personally. The therapy then encourages the individual to commit to behavior that furthers these values despite potentially painful emotional obstacles. Get
Out
of
Your
Mind
and
Into Your
Life offers
a five-step plan for coping with painful emotions such as anxiety and depression. It teaches you how to learn life-enhancing behavior strategies that work to further the goals you value most. You?ll learn to engage with and overcome painful thoughts and feelings with step-by-step acceptance and mindfulness-based techniques. You?ll find out how to let go of control, and develop compassion and flexibility. The realization that painful feelings cannot be controlled will open you to the possibility of fully emotional living. Once present, engaged, and aware, you can begin to build new lives for yourself filled with significance and meaning. This book is not about overcoming pain or fighting emotions; it?s about embracing life and feeling everything it has to offer. In this way, it offers a way out of suffering by choosing to life a life based on what matters most.
