Book description
Build a more satisfying and meaningful life with this best-selling guide to freeing yourself from depression, anxiety, and insecurity through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Are you, like millions of Americans, caught in the happiness trap?

The techniques presented in The Happiness Trap will help readers to:
Reduce stress and worry
Handle painful feelings and thoughts more effectively
Break self-defeating habits
Overcome insecurity and self-doubt
* Create a rich, full, and meaningful life
" . . . a powerful beacon showing us another way forward." --Steven Hayes, PhD, author of Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life
Draws on the principles Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to explain how mindfulness can overcome common emotional problems and help individuals escape self-defeating habits and rise above fears to create a richer, more meaningful life.
