Happiness Trap: How to Stop Struggling, Start Living

Are you, like milllions of Americans, caught in the happiness trap?

    The techniques presented in The Happiness Trap will help readers to:

   • Reduce stress and worry
   • Handle painful feelings and thoughts more effectively
   • Break self-defeating habits
   • Overcome insecurity and self-doubt
   • Create a rich, full, and meaningful life
