But my guess is those methods will probably work for people who find other methods too austere or abstract, and as the principles underpinning them all are the same, it can't hurt to have ACT in the arsenal alongside the other methodologies.

I am glad though, because the author dives into details you may not otherwise gain. Read this like a manual, it is here to change the way you consider, or at least consider something different. I do find it interesting how it is similar and different from other therapies I have experienced. The author clearly believes in this method, and puts his heart into the writing.

"Life is not a problem to be solved. ACT shows how we can live full and meaningful lives by embracing our vulnerability and turning toward what hurts. In this landmark book, the originator and pioneering researcher into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) lays out the psychological flexibility skills that make it one of the most powerful approaches research has yet to offer. These skills have been shown to help even where other approaches have failed. Science shows that they are useful in virtually every area--mental health (anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, PTSD); physical health (chronic pain, dealing with diabetes, facing cancer); social processes (relationship issues, prejudice, stigma, domestic violence); and performance (sports, business, diet, exercise). How does psychological flexibility help? We struggle because the problem-solving mind tells us to run from what causes us fear and hurt. But we hurt where we care. If we run from a sense of vulnerability, we must also run from what we care about. By learning how to liberate ourselves, we can live with meaning and purpose, along with our pain when there is pain. Although that is a simple idea, it resists our instincts and programming. The flexibility skills counter those ingrained tendencies. They include noticing our thoughts with curiosity, opening to our emotions, attending to what is in the present, learning the art of perspective taking, discovering our deepest values, and building habits based around what we deeply want. Beginning with the epiphany Steven Hayes had during a panic attack, this book is a powerful narrative of scientific discovery filled with moving stories as well as advice for how we can put flexibility skills to work immediately. Hayes shows how allowing ourselves to feel fully and think freely moves us toward commitment to what truly matters to us. Finally, we can live lives that reflect the qualities we choose"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The primary thesis of the book (and ACT in general) is that suffering is created and amplified when we turn away from the experience of our own suffering: when we try to not feel it, when we try to run from it, fight it, hide from it, or dismiss it.
Likewise, thriving blossoms when we turn towards our pain.
Hayes doesn't go into the neurobiology of hormesis, homeostasis, and the opponent process of the brain because this book is meant to be a pragmatic book and he succeeds at that. In fact, I think ACT and Hayes' A Liberated Mind are the best *answer* I've encountered so far to the question: how do I apply what we know about the opponent process, homeostasis, and hormesis to my everyday life? How do I apply it to my own difficult private experiences?
This is a book I feel everyone should read. Every sentence is packed with wisdom and insight. It is clearly Hayes' magnum opus. (
