In all my years studying personal growth, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is one of the most useful tools Ive ever come across, and in this book, Dr. Hayes describes it with more depth and clarity than ever before.-Mark Manson, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Life is not a problem to be solved. ACT shows how we can live full and meaningful lives by embracing our vulnerability and turning toward what hurts.
In this landmark book, the originator and pioneering researcher into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) lays out the psychological flexibility skills that make it one of the most powerful approaches research has yet to offer. These skills have been shown to help even where other approaches have failed. Science shows that they are useful in virtually every area--mental health (anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, PTSD); physical health (chronic pain, dealing with diabetes, facing cancer); social processes (relationship issues, prejudice, stigma, domestic violence); and performance (sports, business, diet, exercise).How does psychological flexibility help? We struggle because the problem-solving mind tells us to run from what causes us fear and hurt. But we hurt where we care. If we run from a sense of vulnerability, we must also run from what we care about. By learning how to liberate ourselves, we can live with meaning and purpose, along with our pain when there is pain.Although that is a simple idea, it resists our instincts and programming. The flexibility skills counter those ingrained tendencies. They include noticing our thoughts with curiosity, opening to our emotions, attending to what is in the present, learning the art of perspective taking, discovering our deepest values, and building habits based around what we deeply want.Beginning with the epiphany Steven Hayes had during a panic attack, this book is a powerful narrative of scientific discovery filled with moving stories as well as advice for how we can put flexibility skills to work immediately. Hayes shows how allowing ourselves to feel fully and think freely moves us toward commitment to what truly matters to us. Finally, we can live lives that reflect the qualities we choose.

In our crisis-ridden society psychological flexibility is more needed than ever. Transcending shallow and ineffective behavioral approaches, Dr. Steven Hayes here presents a methodology, a skill-set, for emotional liberation that enables us to pivot from self-limitation to self-awareness and self-affirmative action.

Gabor Mat, MD, author of When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection

We can spend our lives avoiding the thoughts and feelings that cause us pain. But Steve Hayes has become a leader in his field by understanding that things that cause us pain are things about which we care. By learning to use psychological flexibility we can turn toward the difficult places to live with richness and meaning. Compassionate, helpful, and authoritative, A Liberated Mind shows us a powerful way to a fulfilling life.

Susan David, PhD, author of Emotional Agility

This book is organized around developing six psychological skills that clinical research shows, beyond all other factors, promote flexibility and translate into a happier and healthier life. As you read this illuminating book, youll see how these skills are learnable, that you can start right now, and how when woven together, they offer a path to inner freedom.

Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge

Steven Hayes possesses an extraordinary trifecta of skills: A brilliant theoretical and research psychologist, hes also a compassionate clinician and a wonderfully engaging writer. A Liberated Mind is packed with jewels of insight and information that could change the way we deal with suffering as individuals and as a society. A compelling, revelatory read.

Martha Beck, PhD, author of Finding Your Own North Star

Dr. Steven C. Hayes is one of the greatest thinkers, psychological theorists, and clinicians alive. He has contributed an enormous amount to the field of psychology and is well-known for being the creator of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), a treatment that has now become the first-line approach for many psychological problems. The book, A Liberated Mind: How to Pivot Toward What Matters, tells a very personal story about the origin and development of this treatment. Written for a very broad audience, Dr. Hayes is able to clearly translate the science and clinical complexity of this treatment into concrete guiding principles for peoples lives. These principles not only apply to psychological suffering, but also to physical illnesses, relationships, corporations, societies, and cultures. The book is honest, compassionate, and profoundly insightful. It will transform your life by liberating your mind.

Stefan G. Hofmann, PhD, professor of psychology at Boston University

In this highly accessible book, Steven Hayes identifies pathways to connecting with our deepest values and pursuing what really matters. Filled with compassion, wisdom, and down-to-earth methods for change, A Liberated Mind is a refreshing how to manual for overcoming the obstacles, judgments, habits, and prejudices that so often stand in the way of a life worth living.

Richard M. Ryan, professor at the Institute for Positive Psychology and Education, Australian Catholic University, and co-developer of Self-Determination Theory

Many of our inborn behavioral tendencies were wonderfully well adapted to the world they evolved in fifty thousand years ago. But disaster ensues when our primitive and automatic impulses inflexibly control us, rather than us flexibly controlling them. Hayes combines a scientists precision with a poets sensitivity in freeing us to be more loving and fully human. This is a great self-help book for people who would never dream of reading a self-help book.

Allen Frances, professor emeritus and former chair at the Duke Department of Psychiatry, chair of the DSM-IV Task Force, and author of Saving Normal

Steve Hayes is a brilliant thinker and doer, and nowhere is this more evident than in this book. It weaves together research and a lifetime of practical experience into an accessible, personal, and positive guide to thinking about our lives in a fundamentally more helpful way.
