In this groundbreaking series, Triple Board Certified psychologist and ACT expert Dr. Judy Ho walks you through everything you need to know about acceptance and commitment therapy. In doing so, she teaches you how to revolutionize your self-identity and truly understand what it means to be happy. Dr. Ho first explains where acceptance and commitment therapy came from, how it puts you in a position to successfully reach your goals, and why we don’t reach our goals in the first place. She then walks through the six core processes that are at the foundation of acceptance and commitment therapy: acceptance, cognitive defusion, being present, self as context, values, and committed action. ‘Acceptance’ sounds simple, but applying this concept can be difficult. However, Dr. Ho gives you the expertise that will make it easier to practice this part of acceptance and commitment therapy. According to Dr. Ho, the thing that often stands in the way of our doing something meaningful is fear. However, ACT gives you the tools to that will motivate you to both understand and successfully tolerate that fear. In doing so, you’re in a better position to reach your goals. The next process of ACT is ‘Cognitive Defusion.’ According to Dr. Ho, this process will change your relationship with your thoughts. The way to do this will surprise you; it requires looking past the constraints of language and understanding your thoughts in a whole new light. You’ve probably heard of the next concept – ‘Being Present’ – but acceptance and commitment therapy takes this concept a step further. ACT uses evidence-based techniques that give you the power to non-judgmentally experience the world around you. Dr. Ho shows you how in this series. Having a healthy sense of self is the key to self-discovery and finding your purpose. But what actually defines a healthy sense of self is different than you’d expect. Dr. Ho explains those differences in the session focused on the 4th module, ‘Self as Context.’ She shares how this process will strengthen your own self-identity. Processes 5 and 6 are intertwined – ‘Values’ and ‘Committed Action.’ Values define our belief systems and exist to give our lives purpose. So how can you ensure that your goals are rooted in your values and bring meaning to your life? And how can you use ‘Committed Actions’ to link your values to your behavior? Dr. Ho tells you how in our final session. After finishing this series, you will understand how to (and be motivated to) traverse the research-backed road to self-discovery that acceptance and commitment therapy provides.

The Procrastination Equation

DON’T WAIT TO READ THIS BOOK: The world’s leading expert on procrastination uses his groundbreaking research to offer understanding on a matter that bedevils us all. Writing with humour, humanity and solid scientific information reminiscent of Stumbling on Happiness and Freakonomics, Piers Steel explains why we knowingly and willingly put off a course of action despite recognizing we’ll be worse off for it. For those who surf the Web instead of finishing overdue assignments, who always say diets start tomorrow, who stay up late watching TV to put off going to sleep, The Procrastination Equation explains why we do what we do — or in this case don’t — and why in Western societies we’re in the midst of an escalating procrastination epidemic. Dr. Piers Steel takes on the myths and misunderstandings behind procrastination and motivation — showing us how procrastination affects our lives, health, careers and happiness and what we can do about it. With accessible prose and the benefits of new scientific research, he provides insight into why we procrastinate even though the result is that we are less happy, healthy, even wealthy. Who procrastinates and why? How many ways, big and small, do we procrastinate? How can we stop doing it? The reasons are part cultural, part psychological, part biological. And, with a million new ways to distract ourselves in the digitized world — all of which feed on our built-in impulsiveness — more of us are potentially damaging ourselves by putting things off. But Steel not only analyzes the factors that weigh us down but the things that motivate us — including understanding the value of procrastination.

SuperBetter

An innovative guide to living gamefully, based on the program that has already helped nearly half a million people achieve remarkable personal growth In 2009, internationally renowned game designer Jane McGonigal suffered a severe concussion. Unable to think clearly or work or even get out of bed, she became anxious and depressed, even suicidal. But rather than let herself sink further, she decided to get better by doing what she does best: she turned her recovery process into a resilience-building game. What started as a simple motivational exercise quickly became a set of rules for “post-traumatic growth” that she shared on her blog. These rules led to a digital game and a major research study with the National Institutes of Health. Today nearly half a million people have played SuperBetter to get stronger, happier, and healthier. But the life-changing ideas behind SuperBetter are much bigger than just one game. In this book, McGonigal reveals a decade’s worth of scientific research into the ways all games—including videogames, sports, and puzzles—change how we respond to stress, challenge, and pain. She explains how we can cultivate new powers of recovery and resilience in everyday life simply by adopting a more “gameful” mind-set. Being gameful means bringing the same psychological strengths we naturally display when we play games—such as optimism, creativity, courage, and determination—to real-world goals. Drawing on hundreds of studies, McGonigal shows that getting superbetter is as simple as tapping into the three core psychological strengths that games help you build: • Your ability to control your attention, and therefore your thoughts and feelings • Your power to turn anyone into a potential ally, and to strengthen your existing relationships • Your natural capacity to motivate yourself and super-charge your heroic qualities, like willpower, compassion, and determination SuperBetter contains nearly 100 playful challenges anyone can undertake in order to build these gameful strengths. It includes stories and data from people who have used the SuperBetter method to get stronger in the face of illness, injury, and other major setbacks, as well as to achieve goals like losing weight, running a marathon, and finding a new job. As inspiring as it is down to earth, and grounded in rigorous research, SuperBetter is a proven game plan for a better life. You’ll never say that something is “just a game” again. From the Hardcover edition.
