Given that, it’s best to equip yourself, sooner rather than later, with a tool to help you manage through the challenges you will inevitably face in life so you can find and live your real purpose. This book will help you do just that. It lays out a roadmap on how you can look beyond challenges, expectations, and facades to be your true self. It was written with the idea that was as the reader can replace the challenges presented with your own, being able to see yourself while learning how to let go, work through conflict, obstacles, and difficulties and limiting negative self-talk, one step, action, moment and battle at a time.
It speaks to how we are, at times distracted by false beliefs and faulty thinking. Shared are many stories, and approaches on letting go, how to live in the present, and have a full and more peaceful life. It’s engaging and relatable while including an honest selection of experiences readers of all ages will find as useful tools to help live a full life. “This book puts language around so many feelings I had. It also reminds me of a place of peace that must be maintained for me to avoid those pitfalls.” A book which motivational speaker Les Brown calls instructive, informative, and inspiring … a guide to live your life victoriously.”

#12 Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life by Steven C. Hayes

This is a self-help book written by a clinical psychologist, so that already helps with great credibility! The workbook walks you through the author’s widely-regarded Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model, a form of therapy that actively teaches you ways to accept some of your most stressful thoughts and commit to a change in perspective/living.
It is helpful for anxiety because it presents a scientifically-based way of coping that literally brings you out of your mind through use of education about our most stressful thoughts, activities such as mindfulness, and psychological exercises to try when our typical problem-solving skills don’t work. As a psychologist, I’d recommend this book to anyone who can use an extra boost with overcoming their anxiety as well as depression and/or anger!
