"The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Stress Reduction is
not a workbook on how to rid yourself of those difficult feelings
that get in your way. The book brings in compassion,
meaningfulness, and acceptance of the inevitable. The reader is
guided to develop courage and resilience in living a valued life
together with feelings of stress. A well-packed course for those
who want to spend more time living a vital life and less time
fighting with stress."
--JoAnne Dahl, PhD, professor in the department of psychology at
the University of Uppsala, Sweden; licensed psychologist;
psychotherapist; recognized acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
trainer; and ACBS Fellow--JoAnne Dahl, PhD
"Livheim and colleagues' new stress workbook is packed with good
medicine for a stressed-out world. Although the workbook is not
written for professionals, therapists and health care workers will
find a host of incredible tools, worksheets, and exercises for
clients recovering from the stress of acute illness or learning to
live more fully with chronic illness."

around. This book shows you how. It is comprehensive,
evidence-based, practical, and compassionate. I will be
recommending it to my clients."

"Stress is one of the most taxing and costly threats towards mental
health and a prolific, sustainable life. The tools provided in this
book make the mapping of stressors in your life, including your
values and what makes you thrive, both fun and meaningful. The
exercises offered are presented in a way that encourages you, in a
self-compassionate way, to live a successful life aligned with your
own values. I would like to congratulate the future readers of this
book, as well as the team of scientists, practitioners, teachers,
and journalists that have cocreated this very rich book that is
both evidence-based, inspiring, and almost seamless to read and
use."

"Stress reactivity is a strong predictor of poor physical and
mental health. But there is something you can do: acquire the
flexibility skills that will help you to change what you can change
and relate differently to the things you cannot. Authored by
leading experts in stress, this clear and well-written book lays
out a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for targeting each of the
flexibility processes known to reduce stress. Highly
recommended."

Your Life --Steven C. Hayes, PhD
