Author: Steven C. Hayes, PhD
Description:
In "Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life," renowned psychologist Steven C. Hayes offers a transformative guide to overcoming the mental obstacles that hold us back from living fulfilling lives. Based on the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this book provides practical strategies for breaking free from negative thought patterns and embracing the present moment.
Hayes argues that our minds often get stuck in a cycle of worry, self-criticism, and avoidance, which can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. He teaches readers how to:
Identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs
Practice mindfulness and acceptance
Set meaningful goals and take committed action
Build psychological flexibility and resilience
Cultivate self-compassion and a sense of purpose
Through engaging exercises, real-life examples, and evidence-based techniques, "Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life" empowers readers to break free from the prison of their minds and create a life that is rich, meaningful, and authentic. It is an essential guide for anyone seeking to overcome mental health challenges, enhance their well-being, and live a more fulfilling life.
“In Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life for Teens, Joseph V.
Ciarrochi, Louise Hayes, and Ann Bailey provide teenagers with
access to the powerful principles of acceptance and commitment
therapy. The lessons are broadly applicable to any number of
struggles a teen might have. Teens can’t help but recognize their
own struggles in the stories told and dare to pursue their own
hopes in the exercises offered. Perhaps most importantly, in the
midst of a stage when many peoples’ thoughts and feelings isolate
them from the lives they care about, these authors communicate
clearly that the readers are not alone and don’t have to struggle. I
believe this book will be an invaluable resource for any therapist,
parent, family member, or friend who wants to help a teen they
care about.”
