<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Based on the insights and techniques of a new form of psychotherapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this new book by Harris offers key principles and techniques for escaping the "happiness trap" to create a full, rich, and meaningful life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Build a more satisfying and meaningful life with this best-selling guide to freeing yourself from depression, anxiety, and insecurity through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy</b> <p/>Are you, like millions of Americans, caught in the happiness trap? Russ Harris explains that the way most of us go about trying to find happiness ends up making us miserable, driving the epidemics of stress, anxiety, and depression. This empowering book presents the insights and techniques of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) a revolutionary new psychotherapy based on cutting-edge research in behavioral psychology. By clarifying your values and developing mindfulness (a technique for living fully in the present moment), ACT helps you escape the happiness trap and find true satisfaction in life. <p/>The techniques presented in <i>The Happiness Trap</i> will help readers to: <p/>- Reduce stress and worry <br>- Handle painful feelings and thoughts more effectively <br>- Break self-defeating habits <br>- Overcome insecurity and self-doubt <br>- Create a rich, full, and meaningful life <p/>" . . . a powerful beacon showing us another way forward." <b>--Steven Hayes, PhD, author of <i>Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"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 <i>Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life</i> <p/>"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 <i>The Mindful Way through Depression</i> <p/>"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 <i>The Five Things We Cannot Change</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dr. Russ Harris is a physician, therapist, and speaker specializing in stress management. He travels nationally and internationally to train individuals and health professionals in the techniques of ACT. Born and educated in England, he now lives in Australia.
