The "reality slap" takes many different forms.

Sometimes it is so violent it's more like a punch: the death of a loved one, a serious illness, a major injury, a freak accident, a shocking crime, a disabled child, the loss of a job; bankruptcy, betrayal, fire, flood, divorce or disaster.

Sometimes it's a little gentler: envy, loneliness, resentment, failure, disappointment or rejection.

But whatever form it takes, one thing's for sure: it hurts! And most of us don't deal with the pain very well.

This book is based on a scientifically proven mindfulness-based approach called "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy" (ACT). Within these pages, you will learn how to cope effectively when life hurts: not just how to survive, but how to thrive.

This is a book that has the power to change your life.
