Over the past 35 years, Steven C. Hayes and his colleagues have extensively researched and developed Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a powerful psychological approach that has demonstrated significant impact on a wide range of issues, including chronic pain, weight loss, prejudice, and bigotry. In his book "A Liberated Mind," Steven shares the essence of his life's work, offering readers practical strategies for living better, happier, and more fulfilling lives.

The six key processes of ACT, which include defusing rather than fusing with thoughts, seeing life from a new perspective, and discovering chosen values, are at the heart of this book. Steve weaves fascinating research results, such as how ACT techniques can decrease typing errors on a clerical test or how positive affirmations can increase negative emotion, with personal stories of clients and colleagues, as well as his own remarkable journey of healing himself from a severe panic disorder.

"A Liberated Mind" is a groundbreaking and important book that introduces a new form of psychology, destined to become a modern classic in the field of narrative psychology, alongside books like "Daring Greatly" and "Rising Strong" by Brene Brown and "Mindset" by Carol Dweck. It provides a comprehensive and practical guide for individuals seeking to enhance their mental well-being and live more fulfilling lives.
