Dr Russ Harris is a medically-qualified doctor, stress consultant, executive coach, trainer, author, and a leading authority in the powerful new paradigm of Psychological Flexibility. (This is a revolutionary new development in human psychology that enhances performance, reduces stress, and improves health and wellbeing.) Dr Russ regularly presents workshops on Psychological Flexibility at both national and international psychology conferences, and has a thriving business traveling around Australia running training seminars for psychologists, coaches and a variety of health professionals.
Dr Russ’s first book, ‘The Happiness Trap’, was published in Australia in March 2007, and is already well on the way to becoming a bestseller. (The title reflects a key theme in the book - that popular ideas about happiness are misleading, inaccurate, and actually make us miserable in the long term.) He is currently completing his second book ‘From Fear To Fulfilment’ - which is also the title of his most popular talk.
Back in the early nineties, when Russ was a GP in Melbourne, he moonlighted as a stand-up comedian, and as well as appearing regularly on the Melbourne comedy circuit, he featured on TV shows such as Tonight Live with Steve Vizard, and The Mid-Day Show with Ray Martin. As a result of this experience, his talks are fast-paced, engaging and humorous - as well as being action-packed with information, tools, and techniques for reducing stress, enhancing performance, and increasing vitality.

Why is everybody online now a ‘coach’?
Is it so they can blue sky about synergy with cohorts of thought leaders, while creating value for agile business practices in start-ups?

“The Happiness Trap” by Russ Harris
Based on ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
Very practical, less theory-heavy than CBT
~6 hours, super applicable
Focus: accepting difficult feelings vs. fighting them
Core idea: Chasing happiness makes you miserable. Your mind evolved to focus on threats/negativity, so trying to think positively all the time is fighting biology.
The ACT approach in 6 points:
Defusion - Thoughts are just words, not truth (notice “I’m having the thought that I’m worthless” vs believing “I’m worthless”)
Acceptance - Stop fighting uncomfortable feelings, make room for them
Present moment - Be here now instead of lost in thoughts
Observer self - You’re not your thoughts/feelings, you’re the one noticing them
Values - What matters to you? (not goals, but directions)
Committed action - Do what matters even when it’s hard/scary
Bottom line: Stop trying to feel good. Start doing what matters. Feelings will follow (or not, and that’s okay too).
Takes the pressure off “fixing” yourself and puts it on living meaningfully despite discomfort.
