Sometimes it can feel like there's a gap between what we plan or hope for in our lives & the reality we're faced with
- a so-called 'reality gap'. Sometimes it's a startling reality gap caused by the death of a loved one for example or a serious illness a freak accident divorce or the loss of a job. Sometimes it's a little gentler: envy loneliness resentment failure disappointment or rejection. But whatever form your 'reality gap' may take one thing's for sure: it can cause us great distress. Based on the scientifically proven mindfulness-based approach called ' Acceptance & Commitment Therapy' (ACT) this self-help book will teach you how to cope effectively when life hurts & you will learn not only how to survive life's unexpected curve balls but also how to thrive despite them.
