Jon Hill and Joe Oliver introduce the Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACC) model with clarity and accessibility, defining it as an approach that incorporates mindfulness and acceptance, focusing on committed, values-based actions to help coachees make meaningful changes to their lives. Acceptance and Commitment Coaching: Distinctive Features explains the ACC model in such a way that the reader will be able to put it into practice immediately, as well as offering sufficient context to anchor the practical tools in a clear theoretical framework. Split into two parts, the book begins by emphasising ACC’s relevance and its core philosophy before providing an overview of its key theoretical points and the research that supports it. The authors also explain the six key ACC processes: defusion, acceptance, contact with the present moment, self as context, values and committed action, and explain how to use them in practice. Hill and Oliver address essential topics, such as the critical work needed before and as you begin working with a coachee, how to use metaphor as an effective tool as a coach, and they finish by offering helpful tips on how to help coachees maintain their positive changes, how to make ACC accessible to all types of client, how to manage challenging coachees and how to work with both individuals and groups using ACC. Aimed specifically at coaches, the book offers context, examples, practicality and a unique combination of practical and theoretical points in a concise format. Acceptance and Commitment Coaching: Distinctive Features is essential reading for coaches, coaching psychologists and executive coaches in practice and in training. It would be of interest to academics and students of coaching psychology and coaching techniques, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) practitioners looking to move into coaching.
ACTivate Your Life focuses on helping people to be more open, connected and engaged with their lives, demonstrating how Acceptance Commitment Therapy can be used to tackle a range of problems such as low self-esteem, anxiety, anger and depression, as well as providing skills for life enhancement and self-development. Readers are encouraged to consider what matters to them and will learn techniques to set life directions based on meaningful values. Readers will also be introduced to mindfulness and learn how to use it in everyday life to connect with their actions, experiences and the people around them. The ACT approach also teaches that it's a normal part of being human to have thoughts and feelings that are unpleasant and the most important thing is to respond effectively when these kinds of experiences arise. The book is aimed at anyone wanting to enhance their life skills, and character stories are used to demonstrate the spectrum of how they might be employed.
The Second Hill is a historical, “futuristic” novel that takes the reader from September 11, 2001 to June 7, 2043. The settings are Washington, D.C., London, San Francisco, New Orleans, Manhattan, and Paris. The unusual tale begins on that infamous day when terrorism reached America’s shore and ends almost forty-two years later with a startling revelation about the Creator’s reaction to (1) the carnage of “9/11” and (2) the evil that caused it. The Second Hill examines the eternal conflicts between good and evil, theism and atheism, moral absolutism and moral relativism, individualism and collectivism, capitalism and socialism, and honesty and deceit – conflicts that, in the final analysis, are about the same thing. The main characters speak and behave much unlike ordinary people. That is as it should be; extraordinary individuals do not carry on in ordinary fashion. The protagonists are uncommonly intellectual, but they are by no means elitist. They are not of the intelligentsia. Though danger and death continually threaten them, Christa Joyner, Jack Joyner, Alan John, and their cohorts never cower. They are as valiant as they are brilliant. They are as fearless as they are pure. The Second Hill is atypical of fiction in that it contains copious historical and expository endnotes. Endnotes are requisite here because the narrative is grounded in history, and explanation is absolutely necessary to help the reader understand the philosophical, theological, and political aspects of the plot. Essentially, The Second Hill is about Western civilization, Western values, and Western heroes. Hopefully, it will cause most of those who peruse its pages to think deeply about where the world is and where it most certainly will wind up if it continues down the slippery slope of relativism. Many will see this compelling novel as a conservative manifesto. That is what it is.
