The Happiness Trap: How to Stop Struggling and Start Living: A Guide to ACT Free Audiobook Download by Russ Harris
"Many people say that happiness is the key to life but there's no evidence for it", explains Russ Harris in this audiobook. Harris, an ACT therapist, believes that while happiness might be a desirable goal, its not necessary to have a happy life. If you're feeling stuck in life, then he says that you should consider shorter-term goals instead of focusing on your happiness as the answer.
"If you constantly compare yourself against what other people are doing, or you're always trying to please others, you'll never be happy. Your happiness comes from how much you are satisfied with your life in general."
When it comes to your happiness, many people might assume that the pursuit of happiness is a good idea. The book, "The Happiness Trap: How To Stop Struggling and Start Living" by Russ Harris, takes an in depth look at this idea, explaining why some may do more harm than good if they continue to try and find happiness through external things.
One of the biggest problems for many people is that most of our thoughts about happiness are negative. We believe that we need to suffer and struggle before we can truly be happy. However, Russ Harris argues that this is a false belief and explains why it's possible to stop struggling and start living today through his book, "The Happiness Trap: How to Stop Struggling and Start Living: A Guide to ACT".
The Happiness Trap: How to Stop Struggling and Start Living: A Guide to ACT is a self-help book by Russ Harris. The book is based on the model of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people learn how to identify and change destructive behavior patterns that might be holding them back from healthy relationships, success in their career, or other areas in life.
As an emotion-centered approach, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (known as 'ACT') is a powerful tool that helps people learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings without struggling against them or getting lost in compulsions that just make things worse. It's been said that ACT could be the most important therapy since psychoanalysis.
