Book of the month:
The Happiness Trap - by Russ Harris
In The Happiness Trap, Dr. Russ Harris presents a groundbreaking approach to finding lasting fulfillment by challenging the myths that surround our pursuit of happiness. Rooted in the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this empowering guide helps readers shift away from the constant struggle to eliminate painful thoughts and emotions—and instead, teaches how to accept them, while living a rich and meaningful life. Drawing on both psychological research and real-life examples, Dr. Harris offers practical tools to break free from the "happiness trap"—the belief that we must feel good all the time to live well. Through clear explanations and compassionate guidance, this book encourages readers to stop avoiding discomfort, clarify what truly matters, and take purposeful action toward a life aligned with their values.
