The Happiness Trap

An introduction to acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT): making room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, and doing what matters to you anyway. Plain, kind, and short on jargon.

Worth knowing: ACT as a therapy has a good record in trials for low mood and anxiety. The book itself has been tested less than the therapy.
