The Weight Escape offers something life-changingly different.Using the mindfulness-based method called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dr. Russ Harris, author of the best-selling Happiness Trap; psychological practitioner Ann Bailey; and scientist Joseph Ciarrochi show you how to make the lasting changes you want.

Through practical exercises and personal stories they show you how to: * Set goals and give direction to your life * Overcome destructive habits and exercise self-control * Deal with cravings and stressful situations * Develop self-acceptanceThis book contains the tools you need not only to get the weight-loss results you want but to maintain a healthy weight--and a healthy sense of well-being--for the rest of your life.
