The Happiness Trap: How to Stop Struggling and Start Living: A Guide to ACT by Russ Harris

challenging funny hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

I took this book out of the library in early March 2020, literally about 3 days before it (and everything else) shut down for months on end. I kinda skimmed through it and thought eh it's fine but maybe not for me but then it was the only newish book in my house and it was about a subject that was becoming increasingly urgent for me so I went back and re-read it, this time reading only a chapter at a time and doing all the suggested exercises.

I realize it sounds like hyperbole to say it changed my life! but really it genuinely did. It helped me so much to change the way not only I reacted to my own thoughts but also helped me define my personal values and look at whether I was living in a way that aligned with them.
