A hero's journey begins with a struggle -- Avoiding the monsters makes them stronger -- Training your mind to be a hero's mind -- Your superhero self -- The superhero values -- The defusion charm -- The ultimate weapon : the sword of willingness -- Setting up your secret lair with self-compassion -- Taking superhero action steps -- Leveling up in life.

This fun, unique, and "outside-the-box" self-help guide provides everything you need to begin your very own superhero training using evidence-based ACT and mindfulness skills. Within these colorful pages, you'll team up with a group of troubled heroes - inspired by both fictional characters and real-life people - enlisted at the Superhero Training Academy. By learning to face up to their inner villains and monsters, these characters will inspire you to overcome your problems as well. When you're finished, you'll have a slew of new tools you can use - like mindfulness, self-compassion, and values - to help you conquer whatever life throws your way.
