Review: A 'manual to humankind' - in the most approachable, friendly, and helpful way. - Helped me take charge of my own mental growth. It's what I've always imagined psychologists read: a "manual to humankind." I know so much more, now, about the way humans work. About the way I function. And I can use that knowledge to help my counselor help me - and also simply to help myself. It's both technical and approachable - in ways that it's hard to imagine making it more effective, more easy to read. Probably the best introductory textbook on ACT out there. And probably worth reading even if you're familiar with ACT - because he organizes the information and practical lessons so well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant, complete and easily understandable even if your not native English speaker.!
*by R***A on August 29, 2011*

If you are into psychotherapy or any kind of consulting work where you want to help others to feel better and live a more fulfilling life, this is a brilliant start! ACT is a great new approach, scientifically based and built on firm foundations of Cognitive and Behavioral therapies, and widely applicable, not just to the patients or people with psychological problems. I studied CBT many years ago and found it logical, helpful but limited. ACT feels as a more complete approach where the aim of therapy is not to avoid the symptoms but to lead a more meaningful and fulfilled life. Now I am a coming back to practicing individual psychotherapy (from the world of business consulting) and can't wait for the opportunity to apply what I learned and help my first client. Also, this book by Russ Harris, unlike some older books I've read is far more understandable and easier to go through and get the gist. That doesn't mean it is any less profound or correct, at least as far I understand ACT. Although my English is advanced for a non-native speaker, other books made it so difficult to go through the wording and concepts. That struggle made me almost give up when I realized that I don't get it at the end of the chapter or even paragraph. Not with this book! Many examples, routines you just need to adapt and use. Also many downloadable materials on the web site. For me, this is a great place to start with ACT, now I feel able to use it and to explore some more about it through some more demanding writing. Highly recommended!
