Review I just loved reading this book. It is so practical in its organization and written in everyday language that is easy to understand. The authors systematically teach three core ideas which are at the heart of ACT: wake up, loosen up and step up. In each section, they provide numerous, easy to follow daily strategies to help increase your ability to be in the present moment, to practise detachment when you are in troubled waters, and to live your life guided by what really matters to you. The case examples used to highlight key concepts are really well done. The authors have succeeded at their goal of making ACT refreshingly simple to understand and utilize in daily life. -- Kirk Strosahl, Ph.D. Co-founder of ACT and author of In This Moment: Five Steps to Transcending Stress Using Mindfulness and Neuroscience The Little ACT Workbook is one of the clearest and best-written presentations of ACT I've seen. Short and practical, you can put it in your pocket and begin immediately to relate to your own life in a new way. Highly recommended. -- Steven C. Hayes, Co-developer of ACT and author of Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life This little book packs a big punch. You can use it either as a rapid refresher course or a brief but powerful introduction to ACT. With an engaging and easy-to-read style, Mike Sinclair and Matt Beadman take you step-by-step through the theory and practice of ACT, and show you how to enrich and enhance your sessions with the core ACT processes. You'll learn how to wake up, loosen up and step up to create a richer, fuller, more meaningful life. An excellent addition to your ACT library. -- Dr. Russ Harris, Author of ACT Made Simple and The Happiness Trap The Little ACT Workbook is a wonderful introduction to how to succeed in life. Based on clear scientific principles and evidence, it may surprise, intrigue, amuse, or inspire. It will ask you to look at your circumstance in an entirely different way than you have done before. What you will see is that our goals and our difficulties are connected, our own thoughts are as likely to help as to mislead, and one sure way to lose is to refuse to participate. What you will do is up to you. -- Lance M. McCracken, Ph.D. Professor of Behavioural Medicine, King's College London The Little ACT Workbook by Michael Sinclair and Matthew Beadman is an excellent introduction to how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help you to pursue a life of meaning and purpose. The authors have brilliantly distilled the essence of ACT, drawing upon the most up-to-date science that underpins this new approach to cognitive behavioural therapy. This is a clear, engaging guide as to why we struggle with unwanted thoughts and feelings, and what
