Review: Most Helpful Self-Help Book I've Read in Years! - If I could recommend just one "self-help" book to purchase, read and follow-through with the assignments it recommends, it would be this book! I have literally inched my way through it, reading it slowly over the past couple of months, stopping to actually do the activities recommended, and for me it has been a godsend, as I deal with the range of emotions that have emerged as I deal with breast cancer. I am a chronic starter/non-finisher of books but this one was so worth my while, taking the ACT process step-by-step. It has helped me calm anxiety, re-focus on my values and begin the process of listening to my deeper self about what I really want to DO moving forward from this experience. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, worry, fear, dissatisfaction with your life in general or specific, or an unexpected life crisis, the exercises and activities recommended here will help you ACT your way into a more fulfilling life starting now. As the author points out again and again, happiness is a trap when we chase it for its own sake vs. experiencing it as a by-product of a life lived based on values-based goals. Along the way, the practical steps anyone can use to conquer and move beyond some of the most debilitating emotional states are explained, outlined for immediate practice/application. It is a book based on doing, not simply explaining or more psychological understanding. Should you buy it? No, not if you're looking for a quick fix, magic wand. Yes, absolutely if you're ready to make a change for the positive, one action step at a time! By the way, it was recommended by my therapist and I will be forever grateful to her for leading me to it!
Review: Genuinely life changing - I don't know how to efficiently put words to the impact this book has had. Harris has a very personable way of presenting information that is both entertaining, but relatable and encouraging. He gives you the tools and makes you feel like the control is back in your hands. I would recommend this to anyone in any stage of their mental health journey. Thank you so much Dr. Harris!

Dr. Russ Harris has created a monumental work in the self-help and personal development field.

There is SO MUCH great content and practical advice here to enrich the lives of readers. The research and readability are exceptional. If this book was recommended to you, then I encourage you to pick it up today and begin reading. I am certain you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Dr. Harris, for this wonderful and enduring gift.
