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.

Good primer

I like this book to accompany the main acceptance and commitment therapy book of Hayes and co. Doesn’t include RFT though so you will need to learn that elsewhere

Written beneath its audience

This book had some good basic information about ACT, but it was written beneath its target audience. For a book aimed at clinicians who presumably have earned a master's degree at the very least, the author seemingly takes the position that his readers are unable read clinical literature and instead need to be entertained by banter, informal language, and dumbed-down explanations. In the one chapter where he touches on the underlying science, he apologizes for doing so. At other points, it seemed as though he were instructing me on the basics of being a therapist, such as the importance of building rapport. In short, it was written more like a self-help book or a manual for paraprofessionals than a guide for clinicians.

A Complex Topic Made Enjoyable and Easy To Understand

The title of this post says it all. This book speaks to the reader in a very human way. It simplifies complex topics and makes everything easy to learn. I loved the style of how it was written because the author seems humble and isn't trying to sound overly smart with technical jargon. There is also a fun aspect of humor sprinkled throughout to keep things light hearted. I enjoyed the entire experience and learned a lot!

The best ACT book!!

I had ACT made simple (first edition) and debated getting the second edition.I AM SO HAPPY I DID!I work in a treatment center and we have an ACT group so this book is the best! I go chapter by chapter each week with the clients and it's great! It's easy for myself and the clients to understand!And it's so much better than the first edition!It also has a free website that has even extra handouts and worksheets and YouTube videos to help clients understand.10/10 recommend!!

Useful additional reading to supplement learning

I have been taking a short course Advanced Certificate in Mental Health Coaching with PreKure and this was suggested as a useful text for further knowledge building. I am really glad I decided to purchase this text is really interesting and easy to follow. Haven’t read cover to cover yet but I am planning to. Thanks to the seller.
