About this listen
The pioneering originator of ACT teaches us the core principles and methods of this innovative, evidence-based model of life transformation.
Have you ever tried to "think” your way out of emotional turmoil - and ended up feeling even worse? Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) emerges from a remarkable insight: that when our normal problem-solving skills are applied to painful thoughts or feelings, suffering often increases.
Dr. Steven C. Hayes, ACT's originator and codeveloper, has found this to be true in almost every area of life's struggles. "Fortunately," he begins, "we have discovered why this is, and we have developed ways of correcting it."
For more than 30 years, ACT has been used effectively to treat not only mental and behavioral health problems such as anxiety and depression, but to help support workplace success, sports performance, weight loss, and social change. ACT works by helping us to accept and learn from our emotions, to think more freely and flexibly, and to find a liberating new perspective that allows us to take action based on what matters most to us.
Here, you will join this pioneering researcher to learn firsthand about the essentials of ACT. If you're seeking to improve your life, these sessions offer an immersive way to understand this demonstrated path to greater happiness and well-being.
Highlights:
- Session one: "Learning to Let Life Be Your Teacher"
- Session two: "Examining Your Sense of Self"
- Session three: "Opening Up to Letting Go"
- Session four: "Living Within Your Yes"
- Session five: "Coming into the Present Moment"
- Session six: "Identifying Values"
- Session seven: "Committed Action"
- Session eight: "Bringing It All Together"

Info good
The information was good but the narration put me to sleep and seemed disorganised.

Only get this book if you're ready to Grow Up
If you are still on a hamster wheel of looking to others to fix your issues, searching for the "thing" that will make your life "right", for a way to escape whatever was done to you in the past, then this book probably isn't for you. The narrator's style often rambles in that self indulgent American way. He doesn't try to make you like him, and at times places uncomfortable truths right in your face. But the content is powerful. He explains science based tools to change the hard wired thought patterns and behaviours that cause you to struggle. It's not neat solutions or easy promises, but it's a way forward if you are ready to grow past damage in your past. Easy to listen to and great content.

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY
This was 'By Far' the biggest waste of time I have ever spent in my life listening to this book.
The book is a complete waste of time and money. I got to the end of the book knowing absolutely nothing about the subject, but had to endure the rantings of Steven Hayes with no further increase or improvement in my knowledge of anything, besides maybe never, ever listen to his rubbish again.
I am learning about ACT and 'any' other author on this subject would have to be more informative and educational than listening to this druel.

Mumblecore masks actual story
I was so excited to download this book by such a pre-eminent and informed practitioner and academic. I tried so hard to get through it. Unfortunately the author’s terrible inability to speak or enunciate properly made it a mumblecore mess that thoroughly dishonoured the book’s content, message and use. I was unable to get past Chapter 2 after stopping and starting twice. Honestly, some authors should not be allowed to perform their own work. The content (what I could make out of it) sounded promising but the book wouldn’t let me progress.

Waffling Dribble
Abandoned! Waffling dribble. Sounded like he did not prepare but just spoke ad lib. Waste of money and time. Disappointing.
