Recenzii
"There is a great deal of wellbeing science out there, but precious little that translates it into language and practices everyday people can actually use. Ced and Peggy have done that translation work beautifully. The House of Functioning, the Values-Flow Card, the gentle Flow Nudges threaded through each chapter — these are tools that meet people wherever they happen to be standing today. A book to keep close, return to, and share."
— Professor Narelle Lemon, Vice Chancellor Professoriate Research Fellow, Edith Cowan University
"Clinical psychology and positive psychology have largely been progressing in parallel rather than in dialogue of late. Ced and Peggy have written the book that puts them in the same room — not by smoothing over their disagreements but by holding them honestly and putting them to work. The integration of ACT, DBT, and Flow Theory is rigorous, generous, and refreshingly practical. It is rare to find a book that speaks meaningfully to therapists, teachers, coaches, and the everyday adventurer all at once. This one does."
— Professor Narelle Lemon, Vice Chancellor Professoriate Research Fellow, Edith Cowan University
"As a clinical, coaching, and positive psychologist who has long straddled all three worlds - and as a practitioner who brought clinical approaches including DBT into my coaching work early on - this book feels like a conversation I have been waiting to have. Longstanding colleagues and genuine pioneers, Dr Cedomir Ignjatovic and Professor Peggy Kern, have created something rare: a rigorous, generous, and deeply practical bridge between clinical and positive psychology. A magnum opus."

“This is a groundbreaking contribution to the science and practice of human flourishing. Peggy Kern and Cedomir Ignjatovic successfully bridge positive psychology and clinical psychology in a way that few authors have achieved. Their Values-Flow framework elegantly integrates wellbeing, psychological flexibility, emotional regulation, meaning, and optimal experience into a practical pathway for living a life well lived. Richly informed by science and filled with actionable wisdom, this book demonstrates that flourishing is not the absence of struggle but the capacity to engage life's challenges with purpose, resilience, and vitality. I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone interested in helping other people flourish.”
— Stewart I. Donaldson, Ph.D. Distinguished University Professor & President of the Claremont Flourishing Center, Claremont Graduate University
"Values-Flow weaves together three of psychology's most powerful traditions — acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and flow — into one humane, genuinely practical approach to living well. This book makes clear that a meaningful, vital life is available to you right now, in the thick of your struggles, not only once they're solved. Warm, scientifically grounded, and full of doable nudges from merely surviving to genuinely thriving."
