The Happiness Trap: Stop Struggling, Start Living

By Russ Harris

Do you ever feel stressed, anxious, or unfulfilled, even while trying to put on a happy face?

You’re not alone. Many of us get caught in a psychological trap: the more we chase happiness, the more it slips away.

In the updated and expanded second edition of The Happiness Trap: Stop Struggling, Start Living, Russ Harris shows how to break free from this cycle and build genuine, lasting happiness. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), he provides practical strategies to handle painful thoughts and feelings, overcome insecurity and self-doubt, improve relationships, and find fulfillment both at work and in life.

Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, a high-stress job, illness, or personal loss, this book will help you clarify your values, develop self-compassion, and experience authentic happiness from the inside out.
