Strosahl and Robinson follow in the path of "Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life" but focus specifically on depression. A little New Age-y here & there, which initially might or might not be a turn-off, depending on how you feel about such things - but stick with it, because there's lots of powerful material here:
- Strong and useful explanation of why we get depressed in the first place. Blaming biology or history doesn't help us; a more useful stance, as the authors explain, is to look not just at the pain in our lives, but at how we react to that pain. Avoidance pushes us into depression, acceptance and action pull us back into life.
- A full chapter on how our mind tricks us with reasons & stories that seem to "make sense," but actually keep us stuck.
- Nice accompanying CD with guided meditation exercises of various sorts, some for learning mindfulness skills, others for getting in touch with our intuition about what we really want to do in life.
- Good closing chapters on building ACT habits that will last rather than fizzle.
See full review on my blog - www.raburgess.com/wholesight - or just check it out for yourself. You'll be challenged, but you won't be sorry.
