Get Out Of Your Mind And Into Your Life: The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

"Get Out of Your Mind and into Your Life", one of several SELF-HELP books I have read this year, and the title of the book could not describe its contents any better.!This book goes a step further than Good authors like "Louise Hays" self-help books and "Susan Jeffers" self-help Series, because you will be automatically become engrossed, even by the 1st 3-5 pages in this book, on the grounds you have an open mind, and you are not a negative person...Only those who are motivated to move on, or desperate to get out off their current circumstances will be ready, and this book is both light reading and very down-to-earth Practical medication for the soul.I'm not going to repeat what others who rate this book very highly have already said.All I wish to say this book has been a tremendous help to me, and works better than anything a "Shrink or a GP" can give you in the form of a Pill... Please, AVOID Pills (only if you can), but not an necessity, I as a result of recovering from Severe Depression and PTSD, I can speak with some authority and conviction on the subject..The Shrink or GP can only do so much "the rest is down to you", also buy some "relaxing music and meditation CDs" here on Amazon, for after every 60 min reading session, which I personally recommend. (don't over do it)... (don't take on to much at anyone time)... Im sure your Adult enough to know whats best for you anyway. - thanks for reading.If you think my review was at all helpful, I would be grateful if you would kindly CLICK Yes,! - cheers, David.

ACT uses some well known principles (mindfulness, acceptance, values) and puts it into an articulate, well thought out therapy.I used to get tangled up in unpleasant thoughts, now I see them for what they are and act in a way I value.

This book is well written and offers plenty of practical advice. It's definitely one of the best self help books I've encountered and the exercises are cleverly designed to help you get the most out of it. It does get a little complex/advanced in some areas however so may not be to everyone's liking.

This complicated book is an excellent insight into ACT- I could not put this book down until I grasped the whole set of ideas about acceptance being about willingness to put up with mental turmoil while one used valued direction to draw the automatic mind processes into a new moderate state of coherence. I now think of ACT as being as useful as CBT and REBT for having fairly immediate effect on mental distress.

This is a much more difficult book to read and goes into the history and beginning of act therapy, however it is an excellent read if a little hard going at times but stick with it and it will make The Happiness trap by Russ Harris seem even better. Russ Harris has kindly written his book to simplify this book. Revalutionary I say and I hope it helps people as it did me.

Ok, i've only just started reading this book so I cant comment on its worth of content but my first gripe is the size of it. I read on the go, at work or while sitting in a cafe drinking a coffee. This book is 11in x 8.5in this may be due to later content that requires this amount of space to fill out forms or something but just keep this in mind for those purchasing.Will update later once further in the book

Book arrived on time. A very rewarding read. Can honestly say it has changed my life. I can now throw away my hoards of 'positive thinking' books. This is the only one that works and the only one I will use.

Thank you for this wonderful tool. It's everything you need to change your relationship with your thoughts. Language is pervasive and it's amazing that simple tools like this can make such a difference. I share it with clients.
