Review Quotes:

I wholeheartedy applaud this creative
endeavour. It's a wonderful, accessible and practical introduction to
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy backed by years of research and application.
The writing is extraordinary - it's like a gentle walk through another person's
life, and the challenges they face. Each story holds up a mirror to the reader
- although there was no direct contextual similarity in each of the four
volumes, I felt a profound connection with the challenges they faced. These
books touched me deeply.

Each volume concludes with an afterword,
which brings the threads of each story together and presents practical
approaches to using the ACT framework in our lives. Aside from the content - I
love the illustrations by Elizabeth Szekely. Carrie - thank you for bringing
this collection into the world - bravo!

- Ross McIntosh Work Psychologist, Coach and host of the People Soup Podcast
