Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life has introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to the core skills of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and offers a breakthrough, radically different approach to improving mental health and creating positive life changes. Now in a special 20th anniversary edition--which includes a new preface from author and ACT cofounder, Steven C. Hayes--readers will discover why ACT is a "game changer," and how it can help them identify what they truly care about, live with intention in each moment, reduce their suffering, and commit to living a vital, meaningful life--even in the face of adversity.
