Discover what’s possible when you flex your mind. 

How can we navigate life’s inevitable challenges more effectively?

If you’d like to know how to be flexible and adapt to changing circumstances, instead of rigidly resisting them, stick around for this episode with Dr. Steven C. Hayes. 

Steven Hayes is a clinical psychologist, a researcher, the originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Relational Frame Theory, and a co-developer of Process-Based Therapy. He has spent the past four decades studying how to ease human suffering and empower people towards a life based on their own values.

With 47 books and nearly 700 scientific articles published, Dr. Hayes is one of the most cited psychologists in the world, and his work has been celebrated with several prestigious awards.

This episode is part one of my conversation with Steven Hayes. We discuss:

  • How Acceptance and Commitment Therapy works
  • The true meaning of acceptance
  • Psychological flexibility and self-awareness as key to well-being and personal growth
  • The importance of honoring your own personal journey
