Based on the bestselling book Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life
Joseph V. Ciarrochi, PhD, is a university professor at the University of Wollongong in Australia. He works to help adolescents discover their voices and become forces of change in their communities.
"Get Out Of Your Mind and Into Your Life for Teens is an
extraordinary guide for teenagers pursuing extraordinary lives.
Ciarrochi, Hayes, and Bailey offer practical exercises and
introduce us to characters who use 'bold warrior' skills to pursue
more intentional and meaningful lives. In so doing, they lessen the
stigma most teens feel when they struggle with common problems,
such as rumors, loneliness, and harsh criticism from others. My
hope for this book is that it will become a textbook for high
school and college students all over the world."
--Patricia J. Robinson, PhD, coauthor of The Mindfulness and
Acceptance Workbook for Depression and Real Behavior Change in
Primary Care
'This book is a fantastic resource, full of wisdom, compassion, and
extremely practical tools for helping teenagers thrive in the face
of life's challenges. It is not only essential reading for
teenagers, but also for parents, teachers, and any therapists or
counselors who work with this age group."
--Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap and The Reality
Slap
"In Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life for Teens, Joseph V.
Ciarrochi, Louise Hayes, and Ann Bailey provide teenagers with
access to the powerful principles of acceptance and commitment
therapy. The lessons are broadly applicable to any number of
struggles a teen might have. Teens can't help but recognize their
own struggles in the stories told and dare to pursue their own
hopes in the exercises offered. Perhaps most importantly, in the
midst of a stage when many peoples' thoughts and feelings isolate
them from the lives they care about, these authors communicate
clearly that the readers are not alone and don't have to struggle.
I believe this book will be an invaluable resource for any
therapist, parent, family member, or friend who wants to help a
teen they care about."
--Emily K. Sandoz, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at the
University of Louisiana at Lafayette
"An extraordinary resource for teens and adolescents who are
struggling with everything from the trials of being a teenager to
more serious problems. The authors provide an engaging,
compassionate, and understandable road map with practical
suggestions and exercises that any teen will want to explore. It is
an amazing gift to have such a useful book to recommend to teens
and their families."
--Jennifer Gregg, PhD, associate professor at San Jose State
University and coauthor of The Diabetes Lifestyle Book
"It's hard being a human, and it's not easier being a teenager.
Ciarrochi, Hayes, and Bailey clearly know what they're talking
about from their own experiences and from working with youths who
struggle. This is a book that should have been written long ago. I
wish someone had given it to me when I was a teenager."
--Rikard K. Wicksell, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist and a
clinical researcher at Karolinska University Hospital and the
Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden
