The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety: A Guide to Breaking Free from Anxiety, Phobias, and Worry Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Product Description: Anxiety happens. It's not a choice. And attempts to "manage" your thoughts or "get rid" of worry, fear, and panic can leave you feeling frustrated and powerless. But you can take back your life from anxiety without controlling anxious thoughts and feelings. You can stop avoiding anxiety and start showing up to your life. This book will get you started, using a revolutionary new approach called acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT.
The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety has one purpose: to help you live better, more fully, more richly. Your life is calling on you to make that choice, and the skills in this workbook can help you make it happen. Find out how your mind can trap you, keeping you stuck and struggling in anxiety and fear. Learn to nurture your capacity for acceptance, mindfulness, kindness, and compassion. Use these qualities to shift your focus away from anxiety and onto what you really want your life to be about. As you do, your life will get bigger as your anxious suffering gets smaller. No matter what kind of anxiety problem you're struggling with, this workbook can guide you toward a more vibrant and purposeful life.

"...a "must-read" for anyone encountering anxiety as a barrier to a leading a fuller life." - Zindel Segal, Ph.D., Morgan Firestone Chair in Psychotherpy at the University of Toronto and author of The Mindful Way Through Depression.
This workbook comes with a CD that includes a full-length audio guided meditation and electronic copies of the worksheets that appear inside the book.
a great new work! This is a great book! I have read a number of the ACT books, and without a doubt this is one of the best to date. Drs. Forsyth & Eifert have done a superb job of making complicated concepts simple yet effectively explained. The exercises are well designed and useful for a variety of problems. The authors write with a rare sense of clarity, expertise and humaneness.
I have used this book as an adjunct to patient care, and have also recommended it to people to use on it's own. The accompanying CD is extremely well done and something of value all by itself. As a psychologist who treats a large number of anxiety disorders, I recommend it highly.

I Love This Book! This book is excellent news for anyone -therapist or client - using ACT to work with anxiety disorders. It is written in an easy-to-read, down-to-earth, entertaining manner, accompanied by excellent illustrations, and a wealth of practical tools. I particularly like the way they place such strong emphasis on compassion. A CD is included with recordings of mindfulness skills, and pdf files of key worksheets. John and George do a great job of making ACT clear and accessible, in a simple but effective step-by-step program that nicely complements their textbook. It's a `must have' for any budding ACT therapist - and also for most of their clients!
A Breath of Fresh Air After years of struggling with stress and anxiety, trying everything under the sun to fix my problems (with some stuff making things distinctly worse!), the message behind ACT was like a breath of fresh air. My problem wasn't the anxiety itself - it was with my struggles and ineffective coping methods. After some good work and reading books like this one, I can happily say that I am living a meaningful live in the service of what matters most to me.
I've been a member of the ACT community going on four years now. I've read several of the books, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders so I eagerly anticipated the arrival of this new workbook. It's safe to say I wasn't disappointed. I can say hands down this is the most powerful and useful self-help book out there for people who are struggling with anxiety. Period.
The authors approach this work with gentleness, humility, and compassion. If you're like many people who have been suffering from excessive stress, fear, or anxiety, you don't need more information or knowledge. You need something that works, and that's just what they're offering in this new workbook. The emphasis is on finding workable ways of living a more valued and meaningful life.
Here it is in plain English. If you're struggling with worry, fear, stress, or anxiety, and what you've been doing to control or manage your problems isn't working, get this workbook. It might just change your life.
It works for me I am very excited about this book. I am a therapist and work with a lot of clients who deal with anxiety that causes them differing problems in life. The workbook is easy to follow and explains everything step by step. There are heaps of easy to follow exercises and it is written in a user friendly caring manner.
I love that it is based on the latest research.
I can use the excercises myself and this is the acid test for me. I never recommend a book that I would work with myself and get results. This will be a must have book. The downside is it that it makes all my other books redundant.
A Kinder and Gentler Approach to Anxiety If your life has been on hold while you have been unsuccessfully trying to free yourself from your struggles and suffering with anxiety, this workbook is for you. Forsyth and Eifert will not offer you more of the same old tips and suggestions on how to bring anxiety to its knees, but a kinder and gentler approach based upon mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion. The workbook is well-organized, easy to follow, and informed by both the clinical and research experiences that have made the authors experts in applying acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT)to anxiety disorders. A CD that accompanies the workbook is itself worth its cost. It provides an array of printable worksheets to take you through a series of exercises as well as audiofiles of 9 different mindfulness exercises that will teach you how to bring a more open and caring attitude to your experience of anxiety. This workbook is not only recommended to those who wrestle with anxiety on a daily basis, but also for those who have loved ones who do and to mental health professionals with anxious clients. The workbook in particular is the pefect companion to Forsyth and Eifert's earlier practitioner's guidebook on ACT for anxiety disorders. Mental health professionals who are relatively new to ACT will find coordinating their services with progessing through the workbook with anxious clients invaluable.
