The Happiness Trap
A Public Workshop with Dr Russ Harris
At Swinburne University of Technology - Hawthorn
Don't miss out on this heavily discounted workshop for greater health, wellbeing and vitality, with Dr Russ Harris, author of the international best-seller, The Happiness Trap.
Based on the scientifically-proven principles of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), this workshop will show you how to use simple mindfulness skills to handle difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively and live fully in the moment, and how to clarify and use your core values, for inspiration, motivation, infusing your life with a sense of meaning and purpose. Expect to be stimulated, entertained, challenged and surprised! (And also to have a good time with lots of laughs!)
The "Happiness Trap" workshop is for everyone - CEO's, sales staff, stay at home mums, students, nurses, doctors, teachers, people in high stress jobs. It will be helpful for those suffering from low self-esteem or lack of confidence, or struggling with anxiety or depression, or facing illness, or coping with loss, or basically just anyone wanting to improve their quality of life.
Dr Russ Harris, supported by Swinburne University, is generously donating the workshop to raise funds for The Stroke Association of Victoria and its forthcoming project My Care Box™.

Dr Russ Harris: Medical Practitioner - Psychotherapist - Executive Coach
Russ Harris, author of the best-selling self-help book 'The Happiness Trap', is an internationally-renowned trainer of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). Russ's background is in medicine. As a GP he became increasingly interested in the psychological aspects of health and wellbeing, and increasingly disenchanted with writing prescriptions. Ultimately this interest led to a total career change, and he now works in two different, yet complementary roles: both as a therapist and as a coach.
Since 2005, Russ has providing ACT training for over 14,000 Australian therapists, coaches, counselors, doctors, and other health professionals. He has also authored 4 ACT-based self-help books, and two ACT textbooks. The Happiness Trap, is now the most widely-translated ACT book in the world, available in over thirty languages. (To download the opening chapter, click here.)
Russ has a unique model for training, which he calls 'ACT Made Simple', because it covers so much material in a short space of time. (In fact, he even has even written an introductory text book on ACT, titled 'ACT Made Simple'. To download the first two chapters, click here.) He proudly proclaims each workshop a 'jargon-free zone' - and bases his training on three core values: simplicity, clarity, and having fun. His highly-acclaimed ACT workshops are brief, powerful, cost-effective and life-enhancing. Participants regularly report not only major improvements in their therapy and/or coaching, but also in their personal lives - and evaluation forms frequently praise his ability to make complex ideas seem very simple.
