Summary of Steven C. Hayes & Spencer Smith's Get Out Of Your Mind And Into Your Life

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 If you’ve been struggling with pain for some time, you may feel as if your life is narrowing in on you. You may be honest with yourself and admit that you’re not sure what to do about it. This book asks you to consider your own perspective on pain and your consciousness, and to explore what is really true for you. #2 The third request is that you intend this book to make a difference in your life. You don’t have to believe that it will, but we ask you to remain open to the possibility by answering yes to this question: While you are learning and trying out these methods, if you see in your actual experience the possibility of using them to transform your life for the better, will you be willing to move forward in that direction. #3 We all have pain. We all have memories that are embarrassing, humiliating, or shameful. We tend to put on shiny, happy faces, pretending that everything is okay, but life is not all good. #4 The problem is that the cues that evoked your reaction are almost anything: the ink on paper that made up the word shame, or a sunset that reminded you of your recent loss. You try to avoid pain itself, but unfortunately, some methods of avoiding pain are pathological in and of themselves.
