The authors manage to introduce Stoicism and cognitive flexibility by leading the reader on a journey of self-knowledge and self-awareness.

The authors are to be commended for this important contribution. Highly recommended." --Robert L. Leahy, PhD , author or editor of twenty-nine books, including If Only...: Finding Freedom from Regret , The Worry Cure , and The Jealousy Cure, "This book is a brilliant synthesis of old and new.

It's an excellent and easy-to-use workbook, that among other benefits, will help you to live by your values, unhook yourself from difficult thoughts, make room for difficult emotions, be compassionate to yourself, use your core values as a compass to guide you, and live mindfully. Highly recommended!" --Russ Harris , physician, therapist, and author of ACT Made Simple and The Happiness Trap
