The Confidence Gap by Russ Harris
5.0
📚Who This Book is For: Individuals wanting to make progress towards their goals, learn new skills for managing their hesitations about getting started, and those interested in learning about how mindfulness and attention affect their goals.
✏️Review: This book is extremely clear, well-organized, and well written - the structure of the book is clearly designed to teach the information with the psychology of adult learners and those new to the material in mind. The repetition of themes and connections among them helps everyone have a clear outline for what the book is working to achieve and how individual can implement the strategies in their own lives.
This book's information and recommendations are based on the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is an evidence-based therapeutic treatment modality and something that has gained more ground in popularity recent. And like other types of treatments, also has a lot of good lessons and information anyone can use to incorporate into their daily lives and goals - regardless of whether or not they are in treatment for their mental health.
🗒️Main Take-Aways:
📌Differentiation between values and goals, with values acting as the compass and goals as the destinations.
📌Fearlessness is not the goal; acting despite fear is.
📌We can learn and grow by focusing on goals, identifying what skills we may need to practice in order to reach those goals, and using mindfulness skills can help us with all of it.
📌When we separate our selves from our thoughts, we can help get unhooked from whatever our thoughts are telling us.
