Reclaim Your Life: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in 7 Weeks

This is a fantastic book. The author explains the concepts simply and provides lots of exercises to help you apply the material. What's most important is the concept of Acceptance Commitment Therapy. After years of trying to reason with myself to stop thinking about things I can't change and not succeeding, ACT offers a better approach to get on with your life and enjoy it. It's literally changed my life. Don't hesitate to get this book.

This amazing ACT book is the now the core of my RedChair Recovery Therapy program for clients who present with addictive personalities, anxiety, anger, OCD, trauma and much much more. The reason is that ACT, when used and engaged with in a purposeful manner is highly effecitve. It is tough being a therapist, seeing clients only one hour a week, yet with this, a pen and a journal notebook, I and my clients are improving significantly. This is an easy to use work book that effectively guides, educates and invites practice and action whilst feeling open, honest, authentic, compassionate. ACT is not a spectator type therapy, it is an action program of dynamic flexible change targeting a rich and meaningfull life. I wholeheartedly encourage using this book and following the 7 week program. It works if you work it.Bill Stevens . Therapist based near Manchester. UK.

Very interesting book. I strongly advise everyone to read it.

This book is less focused on changing your thoughts and focuses more on acceptance and mindfulness. It helps to explain why your thoughts should be approached in a different manner.You shows when you think negative more negative things can happen and the same with positive thoughts. It's about accepting your thoughts embracing them and the commitment to change. It also shows you how to use mindfulness to be present in the moment.This was such a great book for me and it helped me completely understand my condition. Grab my condition wake it up and say your not going to control me anymore but I now have control over you.
