ABOUT RUSSELL HARRIS Russell Harris, M.D., is a medical professional, psychotherapist, and best-selling author of The Happiness Trap. As a family doctor, Russ became increasingly interested in the psychological aspects of health (and increasingly disinterested in writing prescriptions), which ultimately led him to change careers and become a therapist. As an international expert on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Russ is renowned for his ability to make complex subject matter simple and easy-to-understand. His workshops are highly praised among the ACT community for their simplicity, clarity, and accessibility – and his teaching materials are used by ACT trainers all over the world. Russ lives in Melbourne, Australia and spends much of the year traveling around Australia and other countries, providing workshops for a wide variety of health professionals - from coaches and therapists, to psychologists and psychiatrists. He also regularly presents ACT workshops at both national and international conferences. His book The Happiness Trap is now widely used not just as a self-help book for clients, but as a self-teaching aid for therapists who wish to learn ACT quickly and easily without getting bogged down in technical jargon. Russ’ highly-acclaimed ACT workshops are typically brief, powerful, cost-effective and life-enhancing – and his Aussie sense of humor ensures they are also lots of fun!!!
