Now in its second edition, The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety offers a new approach to your anxiety, fears, and your life.  Within its pages, you’ll find a powerful and tested set of tools and strategies to help you gain freedom from fear, trauma, worry, and all the many manifestations of anxiety and fear.  The book offers an empowering approach to help you create the kind of life you so desperately want to live.
 
Based on a revolutionary approach to psychological health and wellness called acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), this fully revised and updated second edition offers compelling new exercises to help you create the conditions for your own genuine happiness and peace of mind. You’ll learn how your mind can trap you, keeping you stuck and struggling in anxiety and fear.

But you can learn to break free from the shackles of anxiety and fear and take back your life. The purpose of this workbook is to help you do just that. Your life is calling on you to make that choice, and the skills in this workbook can help you make it happen. You can live better, more fully, and more richly with or without anxiety and fear. This book will show you the way.

Title: When in doubt, just follow the instructions.
Review: Anxiety has been a lifetime affliction for me. I've read many books on anxiety management, many within the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) framework. I have felt like I understood how to apply CBT, and it has given some relief to my anxiety. But I have found that anxiety never completely goes away (for me, at least). That's where this book enters. As I began to read the book I came across the proposition that anxiety may very well always be there for me, and that at some point the very fight with anxiety (or the efforts to manage it) is the real problem. This was scary and comforting all at the same time. It was scary since I initially hoped that the book would help me deliver a death-blow to my anxiety; it was comforting in that letting go of the fight seemed like a completely novel and fascinating idea for me. Even though I had never thought of letting go of anxiety management, something about the idea agreed with my intuition. I was excited to read on, and I found the writing to be crisp, gentle and reassuring. I enjoyed reading it. But despite the authors' warnings about using the "techniques" and exercises of the book as a way to directly stop anxious thoughts, I found that very hard to do. As I would try to just observe and note my thinking, the desire and hope that this very act would quell my anxiety continued to have a subtle presence. In this sense, I was not really being very "mindful," even though I thought I was. But the desire to stop anxious thoughts is a thought just like any other to step back from and simply notice. The authors' make this completely clear, so no fault there. I'm not sure why this was so hard for me to do, and I became constantly frustrated that my anxious thoughts were not going away. I write this just to warn everyone not to make the same mistake I did. Read the book, and when in doubt just follow the instructions. Eventually, I found the book did help me a lot, but it is definitely an ongoing practice. Be patient and kind with yourself, and remember that your anxious thoughts AND your desire to get rid of them all exist within the space of the thinking mind. Just observe this, note it, and and let the struggle end. Peace will come if you tread lightly on this delicate practice. This is the advice I would have given myself early on. I hope you can benefit from this excellent book.

Title: Very helpful book!
Review: This book changed my life within the first 30 pages. I highly recommend. However, the grammar is awful and a bit distracting. I’ve lost count of the sentences starting with the word “and”.

Review: I've been using this book for a couple years now as an anchor in difficult times. Haven't completed it yet because it's been a very hard and long journey but it's such a great workbook for anyone suffering with anxiety!! This concept is the only way I think people with anxiety can live to overcome it.

Review: This is one of the most helpful books I've read.After years of letting my anxieties get in the way of my life I'm now learning new ways of dealing with them and doing the stuff that's important to me.Some of the info is hard work so take your time, particularly when doing the exercises. Don't think that you have to finish each chapter in one sitting.I meditate before studying and it definitely helps me to be more receptive and open.Take baby steps when first using these new tools, but please do use them if you want/need to change. Trust the process.If, like me, you've had a lifetime of anxiety this is a workbook that you will probably need to use again in the future. Especially if you occasionally 'fall off the bike'.I've found the process to be challenging but a very worthwhile investment of my time.
