Synopsis

Now more than ever--it's time to get out of your mind and into your life!

If you're struggling with painful thoughts and emotions, anxiety about the future, depression, the effects of trauma, job stress, or anger, this game-changing workbook--now in a special 20th anniversary edition--can help you build the psychological flexibility needed to reduce your suffering and commit to living your life based on what matters most to you now.

Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life has already introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to the core skills of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)--a revolutionary approach that reveals the reasons why we suffer, and how to be mentally healthy. In this anniversary edition--featuring a new preface by author and ACT originator, Steven C. Hayes--you'll learn how ACT can help you live a vital, meaningful life, even in the most challenging times. As you work through the book, you'll discover how to stop fighting or avoiding your pain, and develop a willingness to embrace every experience life has to offer.

You'll find evidence-based strategies to:

• Face fears and challenges--rather than avoid them
• Become more mindful and intentional in each moment
• Foster willingness to accept all of life's experiences
• Defuse from negative thoughts and emotions
• Focus on what really matters to you

ACT is not about resisting your emotions; it's about feeling them completely without letting them control you. More than just a self-help workbook, this is an essential road map to cultivate psychological flexibility, thrive in the face of adversity, and--most importantly--get out of your mind and into your life!

This book has been awarded the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Seal of Merit―an award bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools readers can use to jump-start changes in their lives.
