The Confidence Gap - by Russ Harris

Is there a gap between where you are right now and where you want to be? Is a lack of confidence holding you back? We’ve all been stuck in the ‘confidence gap’. We want to find a better job, pursue a romantic relationship, enrol in a course, expand our business, or pursue our greatest dreams; but fear gets in the way and we don’t take action. Medical practitioner and life coach Dr Russ Harris has helped thousands of people overcome fear and develop genuine confidence. He uses a scientifically-proven approach known as Acceptance and Commitment Training, which employs ‘mindfulness’ – a state of openness, focus and awareness – to enable authentic long-lasting change. Compassionate, practical and inspiring, The Confidence Gap will help you identify your passions, succeed at your challenges and create a life that is truly fulfilling.


Mindfulness Skills: Volume 1 - by Russ Harris


This CD has been designed to teach you a set of useful psychological skills, known as ‘mindfulness skills’. Mindfulness is a state of awareness, openness and focus. The regular practise of mindfulness skills will reduce stress, increase self-awareness, enhance emotional intelligence, and enable you to handle painful thoughts, feelings and sensations far more effectively. There are 5 tracks on the CD, plus an 8-page booklet about mindfulness. Ideally, this CD will be used in conjunction with 'The Happiness Trap'.




Mindfulness Skills: Volume 2 - by Russ Harris




These recordings have been designed to add to, and develop further, the mindfulness skills learned in Volume 1. The exercises are more challenging than those in the first volume. There are 5 tracks, plus an informative 8-page booklet about the utilisation of mindfulness skills.

The Happiness Trap - by Russ Harris

This easy-to-read self-help book is firmly based on the principles of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. The title reflects a key theme: that popular ideas about happiness are misleading, inaccurate, and often make us miserable. The book covers in detail how to use mindfulness skills, values, and effective action to enhance health, vitality, and life satisfaction.

Based on a revolutionary new development in human psychology, this book will show you groundbreaking ways to:

  • handle painful feelings far more effectively
  • escape the grip of self-defeating habits
  • rise above your fears, doubts and insecurities
  • find more fulfilment in your work
  • build more satisfying relationships and, above all,
  • create a rich, full and meaningful life.

At last, a self-help book that really can change your life!

ACT with Love - by Russ Harris

Popular myths about love set us up for a struggle with real life. The inconvenient truth is there's no such thing as a perfect partner, all couples fight, and feelings of love come and go like the weather. But that doesn't mean you can't have a joyful, intimate, and loving relationship. ACT With Love is a simple and empowering program for healing, rebuilding or strengthening your relationship, using the revolutionary new mindfulness-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Through the scientifically-proven principles of ACT, you can learn to handle painful thoughts and feelings more effectively, and enage fully in the process of living and loving.
