About this listen
Modern life urges us to push relentlessly for what looks like success and to be resolute in avoiding anything less. But at what cost? Burnout and disillusionment are on the rise.
What if there is another way? One that allows us to both do well and feel well; an approach that transforms our striving into thriving?
For clinical psychologist Ross White, a Tanzanian proverb - 'The wind does not break the tree that bends' signals the solution. During more than fifteen years as an expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), he has supported countless high-performance clients to develop their psychological flexibility - to anchor themselves in the present, lean into their emotions and make choices in line with their personal values.
If you juggle competing demands, take pride in what you do, and want to achieve your personal goals without sacrificing yourself, then high-performance applies to you too. With perspective-shifting insights and practical strategies, The Tree that Bends will help you to develop a flexible mind so that you can thrive, whatever storms life may throw at you.©2024 Dr Ross G White (P)2024 Quercus Editions Limited

Critic reviews
'A smart, engaging and, best of all, incredibly practical guide to winning in life without losing yourself along the way' (Damian Hughes, co-host of the High Performance Podcast)
'At last, a truly practical, realistic, doable guide to building a better life, and taking good care of yourself, while also performing at your peak. Ross White takes you step-by-step through scientifically-proven strategies to develop a flexible mind: take the power out of difficult thoughts and feelings, live fully in the present, and be the sort of person you want to be. And he does all of this without any of the pseudoscience BS or toxic positivity we so often find in self-help and personal growth approaches. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to move from striving to thriving in any area of their life.' (Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap and ACT Made Simple)
