Empowering and Insightful: A New Approach to True Happiness

"*The Happiness Trap* by Russ Harris offers a refreshing perspective on happiness, challenging the idea that we must always be positive. Through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Harris teaches readers to accept uncomfortable emotions rather than avoid them, and to focus on living in line with their values. The book is filled with practical exercises and real-life examples that help cultivate a more balanced, resilient approach to life. Harris’s accessible writing makes complex ideas easy to understand, making this a valuable read for anyone seeking greater meaning and well-being beyond the pursuit of constant happiness."

— MJ57 (5/5)

"Carefully and creatively presents techniques that anyone can use to undermine struggle, avoidance, and loss of the moment. Harris systematically explores how we get into the 'happiness trap' and then shines a powerful beacon showing us another way forward."—Steven Hayes, PhD, author of Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life

"Eminently practical and readable. This book reveals that when calibrating one's life according to acceptance and valued action, happiness is a pleasant sideshow in the larger carnival of an engaged and purposeful existence."—Zindel Segal, PhD, author of The Mindful Way through Depression

"An exciting alternative to the usual approach of so many self-help books. Harris explains how we can work with ourselves as we are, rather than aggressively trying to alter ourselves. I'm impressed by the simple and effective methods of ACT."—David Richo, PhD, author of The Five Things We Cannot Change
