A powerfully detailed method of dealing with life's pains and injustices." Kirkus Book Reviews Pain is often part of living; yet, humans naturally resist pain and - in the process of resisting - create more pain for themselves and those they love. In contrast, demonstrating acceptance means approaching the pain of living in a way that gives it less control and less ability to produce suffering. Acceptance is acknowledging what life is, rather than continuing to struggle with what life isn't. Acceptance lessens our struggle with pain and increases our ability to live fully.

A powerfully detailed method of dealing with life's pains and injustices." Kirkus Book Reviews Pain is often part of living; yet, humans naturally resist pain and - in the process of resisting - create more pain for themselves and those they love. In contrast, demonstrating acceptance means approaching the pain of living in a way that gives it less control and less ability to produce suffering. Acceptance is acknowledging what life is, rather than continuing to struggle with what life isn't. Acceptance lessens our struggle with pain and increases our ability to live fully. Acceptance helps us "become okay" - even when we really, really aren't okay. While many self-help books emphasize the importance of acceptance, how is it developed? Psychologist, Bryan Bushman, provides a step-by-step roadmap for anyone interested in learning how to rise above emotional or physical pain. Part I of the book suggests powerful ways we can avoid suffering through its innovative use of Buddhism's three paths of suffering. Part II of the book focuses on scientifically-grounded ways to develop acceptance. Combining the best of both eastern- and western-insights with the latest neuropsychological research, Dr. Bushman provides several, easy-to-remember steps that summarize information so people can live richer, more-balanced lives. Universal in its application, there is something here for everyone. Whether you experience depression, anxiety, chronic illness, emotional trauma, relationship problems, or addictive behaviors, pain doesn't have to define you. Using playful humor and powerful case examples, Becoming Okay (When You're Not Okay) provides readers with scientifically-grounded, yet soul-expanding, exercises and insights. You can build a life of vitality and action - even while experiencing some of life's greatest trials. "The author packs a great deal of information into his pages, and he delivers all of it with the smooth skill of an expert teacher… He also includes many illustrations, including graphs and charts designed to convey multiple steps at a glance." Kirkus Book Reviews
Originally from Texas, Bryan Bushman received in undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. He received his MS and PhD degrees from Utah State University. He completed a pre-doctoral internship at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA related to working with children and teens coping with anxiety, depression, and ADHD/learning disabilities. He also completed a post-doctoral fellowship at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN where he worked with patients who had cancer and other life-threatening conditions. Since completing his postdoctoral fellowship, Dr. Bushman has provided psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessment for patients at McKay-Dee Hospital's Behavioral Health Institute in Ogden, Utah. Dr. Bushman has been the author or co-author of articles published in peer-reviewed, scientific journals. He consults frequently with school personnel and medical professionals regarding the treatment of anxiety and pain. Dr. Bushman lives with his family in Utah. He avoids jogging, stepping on cat hairballs, and most commentaries posted on the internet after 11 pm. He craves ice cream, sleeping in, using parentheses excessively, and finding ironic turns-of-phrase that make people rightly conclude that he-like his father before him-is an irreverent smart-ass. Dr. Bushman will fuse with a variety of pet peeves, like becoming unduly irritated at people who become unduly irritated. (He currently deludes himself into believing this is not a contradiction.) His internal librarian loves to replay the memory of the day in 2009 when all the rooms of his house were simultaneously clean, tidy, and hairball-free. He accepts that he will probably always have a hard time accepting acceptance, but (ironically) he seems okay with this.
