The best and only book you'll need to learn about ACT
As a CBT and EMDR therapist, if there was only one book I could recommend to my anxious and/or depressed clients, this would be it. Russ Harris has a gift for communicating complex psychological ideas and interventions in such a simple and easily understandable way. I first learnt about ACT through the equally amazing founder of ACT (Steven Hayes) and would highly recommend his text to those who are interested, but if there was only one I could give it would be this one. I no doubt will be returning to this book for reminders and refreshers and this book could easily put me out of business! If you can't afford therapy, this book will be easily the next best thing!

Very influential. The book I recommend most frequently in my clinical practice.
Making complex ideas simple and accessible. ACT is one of the third wave of cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies. It can be transformative in people’s lives. Recommended.

This book provides great advice and a clear and easily accessible step into using acceptance and commitment therapy. Lots of useful exercises and examples. Repetitive, but in a way that instills important information in your mind.
