“With kindness, erudition, and humor, the authors of Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life educate

readers into a new way of thinking about psychological issues in general and life satisfaction in particular.

Their combination of cutting-edge research and resonance with ancient, tried-and-true practices makes

this one of the most fascinating and illuminating self-help books available. If you’re tired of standard psy-

chological parlance and still frustrated with your quality of life, this book can be a godsend.”
