Book description
Sometimes it can feel like there's a gap between what we plan or
hope for in our lives and the reality we're faced with - a so-called
'reality gap'. Sometimes it's a startling reality gap caused by the
death of a loved one, for example, or a serious illness, a freak
accident, divorce or the loss of a job. Sometimes it's a little
gentler: envy, loneliness, resentment, failure, disappointment or
rejection. But whatever form your 'reality gap' may take, one thing's
for sure: it can cause us great distress. Based on the scientifically
proven mindfulness-based approach called 'Acceptance and Commitment
Therapy' (ACT), this self-help book will teach you how to cope
effectively when life hurts and you will learn not only how to survive
life's unexpected curve balls, but also how to thrive, despite them.
