Details Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781473666986 Publisher: Hachette Ireland Overview The Power of Small is a warm, evidence-based guide that shows overwhelmed readers how to reclaim wellbeing without waiting for a big life reset. Written by sisters and psychotherapists Aisling and Dr Trish Leonard-Curtin, it blends acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) techniques with real clinical case studies. Rather than chasing dramatic transformation, the authors champion tiny, repeatable actions that compound into lasting change, making this an accessible entry point into self-help for anyone who feels stuck, anxious, or simply too busy for big resolutions. About the Book Modern life piles pressure on us to make sweeping New Year's resolutions and grand life plans, yet these ambitions so often collapse within days, leaving us feeling like failures. The Power of Small offers a gentler, more sustainable alternative. Instead of waiting for the mythical "right moment" to overhaul everything at once, Aisling and Trish Leonard-Curtin show readers how everyday micro-decisions can be reframed as powerful opportunities for growth. Drawing on their professional backgrounds in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP), the authors weave together clinical case studies, cutting-edge psychological research, and candid personal stories from their own mental health journeys. Central to their approach is self-compassion: rather than pushing through discomfort with willpower alone, readers are guided to gently expand their comfort zone one manageable step at a time. Topics covered include building resilience, forming sustainable habits, managing overwhelm, and reconnecting with what truly matters. The tone is warm and non-judgemental throughout, making complex psychological concepts feel genuinely achievable rather than academic. Structured in short, digestible chapters, the book suits spare moments rather than one long sitting, reflecting its own philosophy of small, consistent progress. Whether the reader faces anxiety, burnout, or everyday stress, it offers a practical toolkit grounded in real therapeutic practice.
