Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Second Edition: The Process and Practice of Mindful Change By Steven C Hayes PhD

Acceptance

The philosophical bases of ACT may be an impediment for some readers , since the language tends toward the imprecision that plagues many books of this type. I particularly dislike the tendency of many psychological texts to redefine common words with an idiosyncratic meaning for example, verbal, in this text (it would take to long to explain). I also tend to cringe when authors tell you to pronounce the therapy name as act rather than ae cee tee as a way of showing you are really one of the experts. (Since act is a noun and a verb with already established meanings, it is bound to be confusing and off putting to others). If you can get past that, the rest of this book is truly an impressive and coherent explication of the principles and techniques of this therapy, easy to read and replete with excellent examples to illustrate the perspective and approach.

Runes of Royalty (A Demons Fall #4) By G. Bailey

Image
Protector. Angel. Assassin…and now Queen. Evie is now queen of the protectors, and rumoured queen of the demons aswell, but dealing with the black magic she can’t control is far more dangerous than either of those titles. The protectors have fallen, demons along with them, and earth is not far behind. Can Nix, Trex, Connor and Azi help Evie survive a power no one understands? Or knows how to stop… With random portals opening everywhere on earth, a war to be won and Cex tracking her every move, can the assassin-now queen- win the war? Demons will rule. 18+ RH Runes of Royalty (A Demons Fall #4) Runes of Royalty is the perfect conclusion to G Bailey’s A Demon’s Fall series. The emotions, challenges and wonderful storyline will have you addicted to the ending of Evie’s story. This is a series that I highly recommend and dans if G Bailey will definitely enjoy this series. On the plus side to this series ending, it seems that G Bailey will be continuing with this world in ...

Fear Not the Fall/Fannie Lou Hamer: This Little Light By Billie Jean Young

Image
In three dozen poems and a two-act play, MacArthur Fellow Billie Jean Young honors the tradition of struggle, resistance, and survival common to generations of women descended from African slaves. The tradition she dramatizes in her acclaimed portrayal of Fannie Lou Hamer (here for the first time in book form)--the tradition of making a way out of no way--is the same tradition she celebrates in remembering her mother's rub-board hands. Her poetry also reveals the often hidden costs of resistance. In this collection, Young celebrates her personhood as well as her African American womanhood and the power of self-creation and re-creation in the face of personal rejection, abuse, systematic exploitation, and oppression. Organized chronologically, her poems may be read as road markers from her life's journey. For Young, the road is not a freeway; it is not even always paved. It is, however, a familiar path and one many of us can enter. Fear Not the Fall/Fannie Lou Hamer: This Little...
