The Happiness Trap

Suppose you could essentially rewire your brain’s approach to dealing with everyday anxiety, stress, and even fear. Russ Harris proposes this is possible through the ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) program, which helps the mind combat what he describes as the Happiness Trap. It can also help our minds expand and allow room for every feeling and emotion.
