By following the principles of a breakthrough approach, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we can all live a happier, less fearful and more purposeful life.
So often we find ourselves blocked in our lives, unhappy but at the same time anxious and fearful about making real and lasting change and uncertain what direction to take. But in this book, respected psychologist Dr Freddy Jackson Brown reveals that many of our difficulties are self-imposed.
Get The Life You Want explains the key principles of ACT - accepting rather than avoiding difficult experiences, discovering how to defuse harmful thoughts (often through changes in the way we use language), focusing on the values that give your life meaning and committing to changes in behaviour. The ground-breaking aspect of this therapy is its recognition that lasting happiness can only be found when we identify the core values that are most profoundly important to us.
Rich with case studies and practical exercises, this inspiring book will lead you to the life you truly wish to lead.
