Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), developed by Dr. Steven C. Hayes, has become a compass in both my personal and professional life. It’s a mindfulness-based behavioral therapy that helps people live with more clarity, openness, and self-kindness—even when life gets hard.
I draw much of my inspiration from two of the most accessible voices in ACT:
- The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris (Amazon)
- ACT Made Simple by Russ Harris (Amazon)
- Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life by Steven C. Hayes (Amazon)
If you’d prefer to support indie bookstores, you can also find them on Bookshop.org.
These books are more than manuals—they’re gentle, direct, and deeply practical, and they’ve shaped the way I write, create, and connect.
