Dr. Russ Harris - A boldogságcsapda - Ne küzdj kezdj élni!

Happiness. We want it. We desire and strive for it. But what exactly is it?

We work hard to find happiness, but all too often we fail; and even if we succeed, it is usually short-lived, we are dissatisfied with it and want more. Thus, our determined efforts to achieve happiness often cause stress, anxiety and depression.

According to many, happiness is our "natural state". But the statistics clearly show that this is not the case. It is natural to experience an ever-changing flow of painful and pleasant emotions, depending on where we are, what we are doing, and what is happening. If we live a fully human life, we will feel the full range of emotions: the pleasant ones, such as love, joy, and curiosity; and painful ones like sadness, anger and fear. If we don't even have the opportunity to eliminate the root causes, there is a way out if we recognize that we are stuck in the "happiness trap" and learn how to get out of it.

Based on a powerful scientific psychological model called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this book gives you the skills and knowledge to do so. By clarifying our values ​​and developing alert awareness, it supports us in getting out of the trap of happiness and finding true satisfaction in life.

The techniques presented in the happiness trap help you to:
- reduce stress and anxiety in our lives,
- we manage painful feelings and thoughts more effectively,
- eliminate self-defeating habits,
- overcome uncertainty and self-doubt,
- create a rich, full and meaningful life.

What did Helen Keller say? "Life is a daring adventure or nothing." Let's be present, open up and do what matters. The more we are able to do this, the greater our freedom - regardless of what obstacles life puts in our way.
