review 1: This book came up in a conversation with my doctor, at a regular physical. He mentioned that he found it useful. About 50 pages in, I wasn't all that sold on the concepts, but from the middle or so on I found the book quite interesting. A few concepts in the book are immediately useful and practical, and his explanation of the ACT Model is concise and convincing. I especially liked the section on "the observing self." I've found that I go to that idea several times a day now to shape decisions and behavior. Good stuff. Recommended.
review 2: If you are willing to read just one self-help book - this is the one. Especially if you prefer advice on how to find out what you like and why you are better off behaving in a certain way, to 'just so' statements about beli... moreefs you must adopt and the way you should think-feel-behave to achieve a specific goal / way of life some guru says is best. The advice is based on a third wave CBT approach (more behavioral than cognitive) called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). If you are looking for an in depth discussion of the psychological theory and relevant research see the second edition (2011) of ACT by Hayes, Strosahl and Wilson. If you're interested in its philosophical basis see Hayes, Barnes-Holmes and Rocheand (2001) - Relational Frame Theory. Those books are not easy to read. I don't recommend them as a starting point even for professionals new to ACT, and they are completely unnecessary for readers interested in self-help.Harris does a very good job simplifying the philosophy and therapy ideas, explaining motivations and translating it all into practical advice and exercises. There is always room for improvement, but this book already is much better than good enough. less
