The book provides accessible self-help delivery of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a type of evidence-based psychotherapy which helps individuals learn how to “control what you can and accept what you can’t.” Rather than trying to make uncomfortable thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations go away (because we only have so much control over our internal experiences anyways!), ACT encourages being psychologically flexible and working towards what is important to you in workable, realistic ways even when things are challenging.
