Critic reviews

"If you're tired of standard psychological parlance and still frustrated with your quality of life, this book can be a godsend." (Martha Beck, columnist for O Magazine)
"Trying to 'change' negative thoughts through cognitive gymnastics is like trying to win a war single-handedly. Why waste a life trying the impossible? In Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life: The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, advocate Dr. Steven Hayes escorts the mildly depressed, angry, and anxiety prone through a new approach to handling suffering - universal human suffering caused by language's illusions. Rather than fighting off bad thoughts and feelings with internal pep talks, Hayes beautifully explains how to embrace those pessimistic and foreboding mental voices (much like welcoming home one's cranky, play-worn children), 'defuse' them with respectful attention, and commit to leading a purposeful life that includes their occasional ranting."

I didn't find the techniques useful. Maybe I should seek a therapist to understand ACT.

For me the material is difficult to absorb.

I have been noticing a shift in my thought process thanks to the exercises and direct definitions in this text. I'm looking forward to continuing to work through my mental blockages with this tool.
I'm facing an issue though. Ch 7 exercises are missing in the downloadable PDF booklet. I do not have access to the timeline or the 4 box with terms in it. If a new one can be uploaded and/or emailed to me I would greatly appreciate it.

It's been an excellent guide to accompany therapy

Found this book very helpful,some of the exercises were difficult to carry out,but its worth it to try them.I loved chapter 13.

Wonderful

it's hard to listen to this on the go. there are too many things you need to write down. basically this is a workbook and needs your full attention. I do not recommend this on long drives. I am interested in getting the actual book so that I can do all of the exercises.

this is a wookbook
