ACT helped me turn around my life at a low point in my mid 20s. The problem it helped me with was essentially the same as what it helped this author with - how to do hard things. The short answer is, if you accept that it's going to be hard, you can focus on the problem rather than how stuck and frustrated you are, and that helps you to not make it harder than it needs to be. Of course, a person who needs help needs more than the short answer; in particular, we often need a lot of unlearning of bad mental habits, and we need to hear exactly what ACT is saying and, sometimes more importantly, what it is not saying... because we tend to hear what we expect to hear, not what is actually being said. Here's the self-study book I used: https://www.amazon.com/Get-Your-Mind-Into-Life/dp/1572244259 https://www.amazon.com/Get-Your-Mind-Into-Life/dp/1572244259 Highly recommend.
