Reviews for The Happiness Trap (Second Edition): How to Stop Struggling and Start Living

""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 Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life ""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 The Mindful Way through Depression ""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 The Five Things We Cannot Change
