It is normal for people to suffer. However, suffering is not just about physical or psychological pain. People also suffer from difficult self-assessments, uncomfortable feelings, and painful memories. Because we dread or worry about suffering, we do everything to avoid them. We want to minimize our suffering. Many of us give importance to feeling better. But a good life is a lot more than just the absence of suffering. We want to live a good life and we want to make the best of our short stay on this planet.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is focused on the problem of human suffering, but also beyond that. It is also about understanding human suffering as an important factor in realizing a good life. This new form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT is focused on important questions such as "What is my real purpose in life?"

But before we delve deeper into ACT as a specific CBT technique, let us first understand human suffering. This book covers the following topics:

For pets, perhaps a cat or a dog, happiness is pretty much easier to achieve. If their basic needs are provided - food, water, shelter, warmth, and fun - they will be happy. With the absence of human intervention, pets usually miss some of these fundamental needs. They live their lives as mere animals. In comparison, humans may also miss fundamental needs, too. It can be easy to understand how miserable a person can get when these needs aren't met.

However, many of us have all the things that some people are happy to have, but we are still not happy. With our modern wonders - technology, supermarkets, real estate - we are entertained, well fed, and protected from cold or heat. But still, many of us are still miserable.

We still hear stories about billionaires on their prime committing suicide. There are celebrities who have already achieved wealth and fame but still sulk in the corner then drink alcohol or take drugs. It seems that our lives naturally come with suffering.

Physical pain has distinct psychological (mind) and physiological (body) components that manifest response and stimulus. The biological aspect of pain refers to the signal that is transmitted to our brain so we are aware that something is wrong.

The resolve to recover from chronic pain is distinct between the actual pain and suffering. It is also then focused on achieving comfort. While we cannot avoid pain, we can surely do something about our response to suffering, pretty much like how we can respond to anger.
