A beautifully designed book aimed at adolescents that will help them deal with painful emotions by drawing on the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and presenting them in ways that are eye-catching and easy to understand.
Sometimes life sucks
Each of us has thoughts that are painful at times; sometimes the pain is sadness, sometimes worry or anger or shame or grief or some feeling that you don't even have words for. It can seem like everyone else knows what to do and say, while you feel like you don't even know how to be.
Having these types of feeling doesn't mean there is something wrong with you.
This book can help you to deal with the stuff that sucks by helping you to accept your thoughts and emotions instead of struggling against them. If you put less energy into trying to control things that are virtually impossible to fully control - the stuff you think and feel - you'll have more energy to focus on things that you can control. The stuff you do. The stuff that matters.
Ben Sedley has written a wonderful book for teens. A must-have for the collection.
Stuff That Sucks delivers with powerful images, clear messages on what it means to be a human, and lots of ideas for helping teens. A fabulous book - Louise Hayes, PhD, coauthor of The Thriving Adolescent and Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life for Teens
