«When learning Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques, it's sometimes difficult to see how all the parts can add up to a 'good life'. Dr Seth Gillihan illustrates this beautifully with the addition of mindfulness, acceptance, and values-based strategies to classic CBT. With poetic vulnerability, he gives examples of how he has done this through the troughs of his life in a way that brings the strategies to life and is extremely helpful, comforting, and will help you feel less alone in your struggles.»
