Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
The Happiness Trap
Russ Harris · 2025
73/100
👍 Worth It
Harris's ACT-based guide to stop fighting your own thoughts and live by your values has earned its bestseller status honestly, with over a million copies sold and genuinely practical exercises. One note: I could only verify the 2021 Second Edition, not a 2025 printing, so double-check which edition you're actually getting.
