The Happiness Trap

Description

Is it accurate to say that you are, similar to millions of Americans, trapped in the bliss trap? Russ Harris clarifies that the path the greater part of us approach attempting to discover satisfaction winds up making us hopeless, driving the pestilences of stress, tension, and sadness.

This engaging book presents the bits of knowledge and strategies of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) progressive new psychotherapy dependent on bleeding edge research in social brain research. By explaining your qualities and creating care (a method for living completely right now), ACT encourages you to get away from the joy trap and discover genuine fulfillment in life.

There is a huge incongruity in satisfaction. It originates from a root word

signifying ‘by some coincidence’ or ‘an event’, which from a positive perspective implies a

feeling of originality, marvel, and energy about possibility events. The incongruity

is that individuals not just look for it, they attempt to clutch it—particularly to maintain a strategic distance from

any feeling of ‘misery’. Shockingly, these very control endeavors can

become overwhelming, arranged, shut, unbending and fixed.
