## Description

THE MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Do you ever feel worried, miserable or unfulfilled - yet put on a happy face and pretend everything's fine? You are not alone. Stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem are all around. Research suggests that many of us get caught in a psychological trap, a vicious circle in which the more we strive for happiness, the more it eludes us. Fortunately, there is a way to escape from the 'Happiness Trap', a ground-breaking new approach based on mindfulness skills. Using the six principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Russ Harris can help you to: · Reduce stress and worry · Rise above fear, doubt and insecurity · Handle painful thoughts and feelings more effectively · Break self-defeating habits · Improve performance and find fulfilment in your work · Build more satisfying relationships · Create a richer and more meaningful life
