If you pick up the book "Free Your Mind and Start Living: The New Acceptance and Responsibility Therapy" by Stephen S. Haze and Spencer Smith, get ready to look differently at your psychological problems and your life - and how you live it.
With kindness, erudition, and humor, Stephen S. Haze and Spencer Smith teach readers about Acceptance and Responsibility Therapy (ART), which offers a completely different approach to solving problems and to life in general. Not to avoid suffering or fight it, but to accept it as an inevitable part of life. ART is not about fighting pain; it is about developing a willingness to accept whatever experience life has to offer.
ART offers a way out of suffering by helping you choose a life based on what is most important to you. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, or anger, this book can help—clinical evidence shows that CBT is highly effective for addressing a wide range of psychological issues. But it’s not just one of the most compelling self-help books out there—it also points the way to a more fulfilling, fulfilling life.
Free Your Mind and Live Your Life has been awarded the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Seal of Merit, which recognizes outstanding self-help books that adhere to the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and provide scientifically proven coping strategies.
Stephen S. Hayes, Ph.D., is the University of Nevada Foundation Professor of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno. He is the author of over 350 scientific articles and 27 books, including Acceptance and Responsibility Therapy and Relational Frame Theory, two books that significantly develop the concepts underlying Free Your Mind and Start Living. His research focuses on the nature of human language and cognition and their application to understanding and alleviating human suffering. In 1992, the Institute for Scientific Information named Hayes one of the world's most influential psychologists for 1986–1990 based on citations to his work. He is a past president of the Association for the Advancement of Behavioral Therapy, the American Association for Applied and Preventive Psychology, and the 25th Division of the American Psychological Association. He was the first secretary-treasurer of the American Psychological Association. He is the recipient of the Don F. Hayek Award for Outstanding Contributions to Basic Behavioral Research and Its Application from the 25th Division of the American Psychological Association. In 1999, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shaleila appointed him to a four-year term on the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse.
