This book was recommended to me by my therapist, so you know it's going to be a banger. I typically despise any sort of self-help book, but I found this one to be very helpful and it really reiterated for me a lot of the principles and practices I've learned in therapy. It's one thing to talk about something in therapy and hear it from your therapist, and another to see those conversations applies outside of the context of a therapists office. In addition to the concept of ACT, the exercises in this book also have parallels to ERP treatments I have used since seeing my therapist, and I enjoyed how the author reframed these concepts in more clear and digestible pieces. Took off a point because despite it's usefulness, it still has that undeniable self-help gimicky writing style which can just be too much for me at times. Stop trying to joke with me and be personable I just want to get the information lol. If you are thinking about reading this, however, don't let that deter you, I would not give it such a good rating if it weren't worth your time.
