The Little ACT Workbook is one of the clearest and best-written presentations of ACT Ive 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.

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.

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 steps you can take for an alternate, effective approach to lifes experiences. The book uses carefully chosen exercises and metaphors that will strengthen your ability to be aware of and, most importantly, do what most matters to you.
