So here is the happiness trap in a nutshell: to find happiness, we try to avoid or get rid of bad feelings, but the harder we try, the more bad feelings we create.

Introduction

From influencers to psychologists, mindfulness is all the rage these days.

But while downloading a meditation app to your phone or dropping into a yoga class might seem like fun, sporadic and isolated efforts at mindfulness are not likely to work very well.

To truly reap the benefits of happiness, you need concrete steps to make it a habit and a way of approaching life in general.

Dr. Russ Harris is a psychotherapist, life coach, and trainer of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

In this book, Harris teams up with clinical psychologist Steven C. Hayes to explain how you can use mindfulness in your daily life and provide techniques for learning to live with negative emotions instead of fighting them.
