ACT on Life Not on Anger

I'm waffling between 3 and 4 stars on this dense little book. I've used pieces of it with patients for a long time, but only recently finished the whole thing with a patient. I think the needle the authors deftly thread is not shying away from the mindfulness-based and emotion-oriented aspects of ACT that angry people can easily dismiss as “touchy-feely,” while also presenting that material in a simple, matter-of-fact way. They assume without being judgmental that the person reading the book is doing so because their anger is no longer “working” for them. Perhaps I wish aspects of committed, values-based action was added earlier? In summary: not a game-changer, but a solid addition to any ACT practitioner's library.
