The Happiness Trap (workbook)
"The Happiness Trap" workbook, based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helps individuals confront the misconceptions about happiness. It argues that chasing constant happiness can lead to disappointment and emotional suffering. Instead, the workbook encourages readers to accept their thoughts and feelings, understand their values, and commit to actions that align with those values. By practicing mindfulness and self-compassion, individuals can lead more fulfilling lives, embracing their experiences rather than avoiding discomfort. This approach promotes resilience and authenticity, enabling people to find meaningful joy beyond the relentless pursuit of happiness.
