Review Quotes: "Steven C. Hayes and Spencer Smith will take you through the rabbit hole of your mind, where you will discover that most of your doubts and fears are verbal illusions you can just set aside, just like you do when you get a fake email. Then, based on the latest techniques in psychotherapy, this book will teach you how to speak and act from the heart. A must-read!"
