Buddhism-lite pop-psychology for straight people. A useful introduction for people whose only reality is rigid dualism … where dark feelings/passions/thoughts/actions/events are projected onto the Devil and then mercilessly smote.

My interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) led me to this workbook which seems to be Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) updated with the latest buzzword, mindfulness. I appreciate this read for getting me inside the mind-set of Creationists and Trump supporters. No joke. It helps me understand and even have compassion for them.
