Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: The Process and Practice of Mindful Change by Kirk D. Strosahl, Steven C. Hayes, Kelly G. Wilson
5.0
A theory and practice for the present
What’s fabulous about this book is that it isn’t just a collection of techniques cobbled together around a loose philosophy. This is solid critical analysis based on a long history of philosophical and empirical development. The techniques stem from the theory, they are not just thrown together on top of a disconnected one. As a result, this is less a cookbook and more a thoughtful jaunt through humanity; what makes us think, how we do our thinking, and the root of our suffering.
I’m not sure I’d recommend this to just anyone, as the philosophical writing can be a bit heavy for some, but anyone coming to this should walk away having been challenged and made the better for it.
