Summary "To fear is to be human. But fear can also keep us stuck living lives that are stale, stagnant, or downright miserable. In Stop Avoiding Stuff, three psychologists offer 25 "microskills" to help readers identify how their fears are holding them back. Drawing on proven-effective acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), readers will learn how to get comfortable with discomfort, do the very things that scare them, and use values-based action to live their very best lives"-- Provided by publisher.
