In this follow-up to his bestselling The Happiness Trap, Russ Harris shows how you, like millions of other people, can use ACT to start living a life that’s far richer, fuller, and more meaningful. You will learn how ACT can help you: - Reduce stress and worry - Handle painful feelings and thoughts more effectively - Break self-defeating habits - Overcome insecurity and self-doubt - Recognize and treasure the whole range of emotions that make up a satisfying life
