Skip the diets and calorie counting—the bestselling author of The Happiness Trap reveals how mindful eating is the key to long-term weight control and well-being

Using the mindfulness-based method called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Happiness Trap author Dr. Russ Harris, psychological practitioner Ann Bailey, and scientist Joseph Ciarrochi present a holistic approach to well-being and weight loss.

• Set goals and give direction to your life
•  Overcome destructive habits and exercise self-control
• Deal with cravings and stressful situations
• Develop self-acceptance

This book contains the tools you need not only to get the weight-loss results you want but to maintain a healthy weight—and a healthy sense of well-being—for the rest of your life.
