About this listen
Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life introduces Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a new approach to psychotherapy that reevaluates our most basic assumptions about mental health, and details how ACT can help you to embrace life and everything it has to offer.

Good book, awful narator
The information in this book is great, only that the naration is ghastly. I don't know how this audiobook passed as listenable material, but, with all the benevolence & power of concentration, I couldn't even get to it's half. Buy the book, skip the audio

Really wanted to like it but not suitable for every issue…
Not great for every type of mental distress. Would check appropriately before going through this book. If you are aware what your issues and mind traps are and they are rooted at the belief level, and you if have a medically diagnosed general anxiety or depression disorder, then I don’t think this is for you.
Audio is not great format for this book, works best as a book / kindle due to exercises as the audio just rattles through. No bookmarks in chapters to return to exercises or where the pdf sheet links if you return to it later. Disappointing.

Not easy to apply but the best book I found so far
I think this book is absolutely brilliant as well as the Acceptance and Commitment therapy it describes. I struggle with mild social anxiety and excessive worrying and I read many self-help books based on science i.e. CBT and ACT and this one is my favorite.
One downside, but it is more problem with the therapy not book itself, is that learning ACT is not easy on your own and requires practice (there are exercises in the book) so I would recommend finding a psychologist with whom you can talk to and treat this book as additional help. I'm listening to this book now again after a year (probably 7th times) so I thought I will write a review. I hope it is helpful.

Great advice disguised by awful writing and narration
I only stuck with this book because it was recommended by my therapist. Much of the advice is excellent at its core and has already helped me with some problems that other approaches failed at. However, it needs a complete rewrite and a very different narrator. It could then help far more people.

Narrator sounds like a robot
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I really can't imagine that anyone would be able to put up with the robotic narration. Read the print book if you can.
What could Spencer Smith and Steven C. Hayes have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I don't think there is anything wrong with the book. It came highly recommended to me but due to visual problems I decided to download the audio version. It's a shame that the author's work has been let down by the narrator.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Paul Boehmer?
Anyone !
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life?
Didn't listen to enough of it to find out. Gave up early on due to the narrator.
Any additional comments?
I will be requesting a credit refund for this.
