An illustrated guide on how to stop struggling and start living
Popular myths about happiness are directly contributing to our epidemic of stress, anxiety and depression — and popular psychological remedies are making it even worse! In his original bestselling self-help book, Dr Russ Harris revealed how millions of people are unwittingly caught in ‘The Happiness Trap’. He then provided an effective means to escape: ACT (or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) based on the principles of mindfulness.
Now, in The Happiness Trap Pocketbook, Russ has joined forces with acclaimed self-help author and illustrator, Bev Aisbett, to produce a highly illustrated, simpler, shorter version of the book that will not only resonate with readers of the original but also find a new audience for Russ’s empowering message.
