Description
Written by a specialist in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, the Being Human series features four narratives that delve into the complexities of our shared human experience.
As humans, we are all prone to psychological struggle. Life is full of challenges, hardships, and emotional pain. The Being Human series seeks to equip readers with the psychological resilience and flexibility to live a meaningful life in spite of these difficulties.
The four books each focus on a different aspect of the human condition, providing teachings and practical processes for readers to implement in their lives:
- The Lost Sun focuses on the importance of ‘values-based living’.
- The Flower in the Pocket emphasizes transforming pain into growth.
- The Unwanted Friend explores the realm of thoughts.
- The Dragonfly in the Haze discusses our growing disconnect with the world and each other.
Together, these books form the comprehensive Being Human Method, fostering self-awareness, meaningful relationships, and a purposeful existence. Dive in and discover the tools to reconnect with others – and yourself.
