Summary

A guided journal for anyone who wants to stop being miserable and get the hell on with living, using the tenets of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) as a guide. (Bonus points if you use colored pencils or whatever the f*ck you accidentally bought the last time you were depressed in a craft store.)

Ready to transform your life with the power of acceptance? You can pay a lot (assuming you can find a therapist) for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or you can try this guided journal. Packed with prompts and exercises based in ACT and featuring a macrodose of attitude, this journal will help you accept the inevitable crappy parts of living with humor and perspective, so you can start enjoying the life you have.

Author and mental health influencer Christina Wolfgram (Sobcast: The Podcast) walks readers through the four major steps from acceptance to committment in a way that won't make you barf:

• Why the F*ck Am I So Miserable? Identify your pain points.
• Jealousy Is a Sickness (Get Well Soon!) Turn jealousy into inspiration.
• F*cking Deal With It! Accept that sometimes things just suck.
• The Best Is Yet to Come, B*tch! Commit to your core values.

Each spread offers a prompt that's both fun and therapeutic—from a Who Am I Right Now? fill-in-the-blanks exercise to Good Sh*t I Want More of in My Daily Life List. Try it—what have you got to lose but your misery?
